Friendship Matters with Karen Riddell

his is extremely helpful conversations with friendship experts, if you are curious or interested in making new friends, or deepening your connections with existing friends! My guest, Karen Riddell is a public speaker and Psychology Today blogger on the topic of friendships and the Author of the book, “Friendship Matters”. We had a fascinating and helpful conversation on WHY friendship matters, the multitude of physical, emotional and professional benefits that having friends has, the scientific research behind the power that friendship has, e.g. people’s presence, their touch and connection fuels our bodies with oxytocin and we discussed the evidence and statistics on how it improves our health and longevity. We talked about how and where to find new friends, about the skills needed to grow and deepen friendships, and what we can proactively do to make and deepen the relationship with our friends to feel better and live longer!
