The Science of Building Better Relationships

In this podcast conversation from Ten Percent Happier, American journalist Dan Harris and Marissa King, Professor of Organizational Psychology, talk about: how your social networks impact your mental health; how, when it comes to social networks, quality and structure are more important than quantity; why you’re not as bad at being social as you may think; the importance of humor; how status and privilege play into networking; the benefits of calling up old friends you haven’t spoken to in a while; and whether you are a convener, broker, or expansionist.
