About this episode
In a fascinating conversation, Dan Buettner explores the surprising link between your social life and your longevity. He's joined by Vanessa Van Edwards, who teaches us how to move past awkward small talk and have conversations that actually "juice" dopamine. Vanessa also reveals the key to finding your people and why you should get out of your house and go on a "quest" to make friends. This episode is a roadmap for building the right social network, which Dan calls "arguably the most powerful thing you can do to add good years to your life"
