Anyone looking for more reasons to run—or who wants more joy and connections in life—should listen to this episode. Guests Robert Waldinger, M.D., a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School + co-author of The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness, and Stephanie Diamond, a mom who formed deep friendships through running, join hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Amanda Loudin to share:

-how strong of a stressor loneliness is;

-the power of casual interactions;

-why group runs and running retreats serve introverts well;

-how a running group saved one mom whose spouse was stationed overseas; and,

-the benefits of running-related social media.

Before Dr. Waldinger joins around 6:05, empty-nester, single-mom Amanda shares how her posse of running pals alleviates her loneliness.
