Assessing and Nurturing Friendships for Social Fitness

You can read today’s edition of The 7 newsletter here. In the meantime, we’re sharing something else for you to listen to heading into this holiday weekend. It’s the first “class” from our audio course on making the most of your friendships. This comes from the team at The Washington Post’s “Try This” series which is hosted by Cristina Quinn. She learns what it means to be socially fit and why it’s never too late to start getting those reps in. Cristina speaks with Bob Waldinger, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development. It’s the longest longitudinal study on human happiness. He explains why friendships matter for our health and what we can do to take stock of our connections.
