Am I Normal? with Mona Chalabi |

A TED Original Podcast

• October 2021

How many relationships should we maintain, and what are the different kinds of friendships we need anyway? In this episode of Am I Normal?, a podcast from the TED Audio Collective, data scientist Mona Chalabi asks evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar what he's learned from been studying social relationships for 50 years. Then, Mona maps out her own relationships against the averages -- and invites you to do the same.
