The Science of Friendships | David Robson

Live Long and Master Aging

David Robson has always found forming new connections and meeting strangers challenging. As a science writer - and confronted by his own insecurities - he decided to delve into the research that suggests forging new relationships has a direct impact on healthy aging. The result is Robson's latest book, The Laws of Connection: The Scientific Secrets of Building a Strong Social Network, which reveals how people impacted by serious illnesses fare much better when they have people around them. Robson’s insights challenge our perceptions about forming meaningful relationships and provide strategies to help build a stronger social network.
