Dr Rangan Chatterjee: GP & Author
About this episode

Life can be busy, and it’s easy to forget to make time to catch up with friends– but spending time with your friends is more important than you think.


Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.


Today’s clip is from episode 80 of the podcast with my good friend and fellow podcast host Dhru Purohit.


In this clip, he explains why our friendships are so important, and why we need deep connections to others to truly thrive.


Show notes and the full podcast are available at drchatterjee.com/80
