How moving from home can impact on friendships
Have you ever moved away from the place you used to call home? Did your friendships move with you? What was it like making new connections? What helps you to feel like you connect and belong? Is it a sense of shared history you have with your friends? Maybe it’s your shared values or beliefs.
In this episode of Hand Baggage Only, host Suzette Shahmoon, is joined by Dr Tal Ben Shahar. A Doctor of organisational behaviour, Tal is the author of the New York Times bestsellers ‘Happier’ and ‘Being Happy’, and still holds the record for having taught the most popular course in Harvard University. He now lectures on leadership and positive psychology to executives in multinational corporations, the general public, and to at risk populations. Tal is also founder of the Happiness Studies Academy and like Suzette, has moved counties during his life. Together, they discuss what it was like moving away from friends, how those friendships change, the challenges of making new friends in new countries, and the impact on them as parents as well as their family.
