The Healing Power of Friendship Networks

[alice]

One thing seems certain, that we need to work together as a close co-operative team if we're to make the quickest possible recovery from our current economic crisis. Comradeship is not one of life's optional extras, to be cultivated when we have time to spare, it's essential for our happiness, health and communal well-being. To survive, and work at peak efficiency, we need to belong. Whatever our age, friendships are a vital, life insurance policy. The Four Percent Group

This was demonstrated when three Chicago researchers gave twenty-five teenagers notebooks and mobile paging devices, and asked them to record whatever they were doing and feeling when the bleepers sounded. The results showed that they were at their happiest when they were playing games with their friends. This made them feel strong, active and free. They spent a lot of time watching television, often because they had nothing better to do, but this didn't have the same enlivening effect. In the words of the researchers: 'When watching TV they tended not to feel happy or sad, friendly or hostile, strong or weak, lonely or sociable. Simply put they didn't feel'. When we're engaged in such mindless, solitary pursuits we tend to feel apathetic, a word derived from the Latin 'a-pathos' meaning without feeling.

There's no question that we're at our most convivial when we're in the company of others. This was recognised by Epicurus, who wrote: 'Of all the means to ensure happiness throughout the whole of life, by far the most important is the acquisition of friends.' With their support we're also better able to cope with life's inevitable setbacks, hassles and risks. http://toshkoraychevprofitsystemreview.com/the-4-percent-group-review/
