The Italian island of Sardinia has more than six times as many centenarians as mainland Italy, and ten times as many as North America. Why? According to award-winning psychologist and longevity researcher Susan Pinker, it isn't sunshine or a low-fat diet that keeps Sardinians alive so long. It's their emphasis on close personal relationships and daily face-to-face connection.

We're honored to welcome Susan for a fireside chat with the Chapter Community. Her TED talk on social connection and longevity has been viewed by millions, and in her acclaimed book The Village Effect, she makes a powerful, data-driven case for something we often take for granted: that in-person contact isn't just good for us. It's one of the strongest predictors of how long and how well we live, on par with diet and exercise.

In this conversation, Susan will reveal the surprising science of what it takes to live to 100 and beyond, and why connection heals us and extends our lives in ways no digital substitute can. She'll speak directly to this stage of life: as work winds down and routines shift, the everyday "village" of in-person contact can quietly shrink, right when it matters most.
Join us for this fireside chat and live audience Q&A, a chance to hear from one of the most compelling thinkers on what makes for a longer, healthier, happier life.
