What Harvard's 75-Year Study Reveals About Happiness In our ongoing exploration of human connection, we conducted an informal street survey asking people what they believe most impacts happiness: professional success, wealth, fame, or relationships. Their responses provided an interesting contrast to the Harvard Study of Adult Development—one of the world's longest-running studies on happiness, which has tracked 724 individuals for over 75 years. The research conclusively found that quality relationships are the strongest predictor of life satisfaction and well-being—outweighing career achievements and financial success. As the study's director, Robert J. Waldinger, stated: "The good life is right in front of you, sometimes an arm's length away. And it starts now." In our pursuit of career milestones, fame and growth, meaningful connections frequently become collateral damage.

Celebrating One Million Strong: A Milestone of Meaningful Connection We're celebrating a heartwarming milestone today - one million people have joined our Instagram community, each one seeking that irreplaceable feeling of genuine connection. This milestone represents individuals across the spectrum of human experience - from recent graduates to industry veterans, from lifelong locals to global citizens finding their way in new environments. What's most meaningful about this growth isn't the number itself, but what it represents: a collective recognition that despite our digital connectivity, the value in face-to-face conversation and genuine human connection remains irreplaceable. To those who have made our tables part of their regular routine, as well as those considering their first Timeleft dinner: thank you for believing in the power of meaningful conversation to transform not just individual lives but entire communities. Here's to the connections yet to be made and the communities yet to be built. #MeaningfulConnection #CommunityBuilding #ProfessionalNetworking #MilestoneAchievement

The Psychology of Connection: How Do We Find Our People? At Timeleft, we're fascinated by the ways meaningful relationships form. Some of us thrive in established networks where shared history creates immediate understanding, while others come alive when forging new connections. Some build relationships through deep one-on-one conversations, while others connect through collaborative experiences and shared activities. We're curious about your connection style: Do you gravitate toward established relationships or new acquaintances? Do you build stronger bonds through conversation or shared experiences? Share your thoughts in the comments. #ProfessionalConnections #RelationshipBuilding #CommunityDevelopment #NetworkingStyles

Thursday Dinners Are Coming To Timeleft! We've heard your feedback loud and clear - not everyone can make Wednesday night dinners, and meaningful connections shouldn't be limited to just one day of the week. We're expanding our dinner offerings to include Thursdays in select cities, with plans to roll out across all locations soon. This expansion reflects our commitment to creating more opportunities for authentic connection that fit into your busy schedule. Whether you're an early-week or late-week connector, we're making it easier to find your people. Check the app to see if your city is included in the initial launch, and stay tuned as we continue expanding this option to more locations in the coming weeks. Here's to more conversations, more connections, and more community-building 💪 #MeaningfulConnections #CommunityBuilding #NetworkingDifferently

Building Community Across Borders: A Relocation Success Story Moving often comes with an unspoken challenge: establishing meaningful connections in a new city. Meet David, whose relocation to Stockholm highlights a common experience among global professionals. The absence of community can significantly impact overall wellbeing and integration. But his willingness to step outside traditional networking environments brought him to join a curated dinner, transforming his experience of Stockholm from merely a workplace to a home. This serves as a powerful reminder that while technical skills transfer easily across borders, building authentic community requires intentional effort. #GlobalMobility #ProfessionalDevelopment #CommunityBuilding #RelocationSuccess

Breaking Bread: Raw, candid conversations over a shared baguette on the streets of Paris 🥖 This episode of our series exploring human connection features Solal, who shares an insight about meaningful relationships that resonates in both personal and professional contexts: "They know when to step back and just let me talk. No interruptions - they give me the space to express myself freely." The ability to create space for others to express themselves fully isn't just kindness - it's a critical skill for relationship-building. #BreakingBread #MeaningfulConnections

Last week we hosted a dinner to celebrate our 50 most dedicated Paris Timelefters - we wanted a night where we could look you in the eyes and say thank you for trusting us with your evenings, dinner after dinner ✨ There's something moving about hosting people who've opened up to so many others, about hearing your friendship stories, and witnessing the community you've built beyond our tables. About seeing people who've attended up to 39 dinners (!) do what they do best - turn strangers into something great and real. Our planned icebreaker cards sat untouched while conversations flowed like old friends reuniting. Maxime Barbier's speech captured what we all felt - that you're the heartbeat of this community. The ones who prove that Timeleft is about more than dinners. It's about the joy that spreads when someone feels truly welcomed, one conversation at a time. Thank you for showing up, again and again. The best part? We're just getting started ✨
