She’s the author of three books, including the newly published Friendship: The Evolution, Biology and Extraordinary Power of Life’s Fundamental Bond, which demonstrates how friendship goes deeper than our emotional responses, and affects us on a cellular level. We explored the psychology of friendship, and in particular looked at: What makes a good friend Whether digital friendships and Zoom calls are a substitute for the real thing Why loneliness can kill and how friendship makes us healthier people How to toe the delicate line between parent and friend Friendship at work, and how it can help us to cultivate trust and support innovation We unpacked that, and more, in this fascinating conversation with today’s guest, Lydia Denworth.
