We know that exercise and diet play a major role in longevity, but social interactions and meaningful connections also have a powerful impact on how we age. In this episode, you’ll learn how to foster relationships that energize you—not drain you—and avoid the trap of unwanted interactions and energy vampires. If you’re looking to live a happier, longer life, this episode shows you how.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with behavioral researcher Vanessa Van Edwards.
