Congratulations to @WhatWorksWB @Work_Life_You and the whole team for the incredible legacy you leave behind
Your work has been instrumental in widening the conversation about what wellbeing actually is

This important new research examines the links between social isolation, mental health and wellbeing and physical health using data from our 1958 and 1970 cohorts.
Overall, the greater the level of social isolation, the:
▶️ lower the life satisfaction
▶️ higher the psychological distress
▶️ lower self-rated general health
