As it turns out, making new friends and maintaining old ones as an adult is harder than expected. For many, the days of living in close proximity to hundreds of potential pals are a thing of the past, as are the free nights and weekends in which to regularly cultivate those friendships. However, the need for a reliable, trustworthy network still remains, and having one is just as important for adults as it is for young people.
The benefits of a fulfilling social life and network extend beyond those of overall wellbeing and into the professional arena. Research suggests that people who are happier enjoy numerous professional benefits as well.
