INCREDIBLE VITAMIN S

Why does this moment of micro-connection feel so good? Because humans are social animals. Nature wants us to connect with others and rewards us with positive feelings when we do. Psychologists have found that we have a network in our brains that acts as a “sociometer.” The job of the sociometer is to constantly scan our social world. If it detects we’re not securely connected, our self-esteem plummets and our stress response is triggered. We become anxious and unhappy and at greater risk of becoming physically and mentally ill. It’s hard to overstate the importance of having a network of positive social connections. One study at Harvard University that’s been tracking people for an incredible seventy-five years found that the number-one predictor of happiness and well-being over the course of our lives is the quality of our relationships. Nothing else came close.
