Show Notes

Doug continues the happiness series with part 4 featuring special guest Kristen Knapp (FI Friends Travel).  Doug & Kristen dive into the groundbreaking science of longevity, memory, and community – from an 80-year Harvard study to Chicago commuter trains, the data proves that relationships act as emotional shock absorbers.   They also discuss how good relationships are the strongest predictor of a healthy, long, happy life.
