Happiness is infectious

Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego have found that "happiness" is not the result solely of a cloistered journey filled with individually tailored self-help techniques. Happiness is also a collective phenomenon that spreads through social networks like an emotional contagion.

(Never mind the fact that individually tailored self-help techniques is not the only path or even the path of many leading to happiness. Sometimes the finding of a research and / or the way it is articulated reveals the nationality of the research )

At this point in time reading about happiness being infectious offers hope . It would be a welcome epidemic .
