Tell me if this sounds familiar to you. You get dinner with a friend, and you go down a checklist: - How’s work? - How’s your partner doing? - You had a vacation planned, right? How was it? - Doing anything fun this weekend? - Reading or watching anything good? We usually get together with our friends and just report on our lives. And not only does that not feel very satisfying in the moment, but it actually doesn’t help us create many new memories with them!! We need novelty in our friendships! Shared new experiences help friendships stick in our brains and feel more satisfying. Whether it’s a trip, an improv class, or a new game, doing something unfamiliar together triggers a sense of presence and memory-making that strengthens bonds. Every week I sit down with the world’s leading doctors, experts, and researchers to help you feel happier, healthier, and way more connected to the people you love. Follow along so you never miss it!
