Many of our happiest people
had quieter lives.
WPR: And you know, I guess to the tips
that you offered in the talk, you know,
you talked about how we can build
warm connections,
steps that we can take.
And this idea of social fitness.
And so I'm curious how can we
actually assess our social fitness,
and as you said, to sort of,
understand what is right for us
in terms of how many friends to have.
And is it possible
to sustain warm relationships
if you aren't really intentional
in thinking about your social fitness?
RW: That question of how do we assess
our social fitness,
it's really checking in and saying,
am I as connected as I would like to be
to other people?
And if I'm not, what am I missing?
So not all relationships provide us
with the same stuff.
Some relationships are relationships
we have because they're fun,
you know?
And so they're the people
I like to go out and party with.
Some relationships are the relationships
that help me when I'm scared or hurting
or worried about something.
