What does happiness mean to you?
Do you have a vision of the elements of it for your life? For your personality?
Do you really want to live a happier life?
Guess what? There is a positive correlation between being happy and surrounding yourself with happy friends. Blogger Adam Hinterthuer shares the news from a study published online December 4th in the British Medical Journal says happiness can quickly go viral within your social network.
He explains that the researchers looked at 20 years worth of data on more than 5,000 individuals and found that when any one person was happy, their friends became more likely to share that joy. Benefits spread out to three degrees of separation, meaning a better chance at happiness for not only their friends’ friends, but also their friends’ friends’ friends.
