David Robson has always found forming new connections and meeting strangers challenging. As a science writer - and confronted by his own insecurities - he decided to delve into the research that suggests forging new relationships has a direct impact on healthy aging.

Robson’s insights challenge our perceptions about forming meaningful relationships and provide strategies to help build a stronger social network.
