Social Integration, Health, and Longevity
When I saw this video, I thought, "Oh boy, I'm going to be writing many, many blog posts about the content here."
Few people know that for my Masters thesis project, I developed a social network-mentoring group for women graduate students, based on social support theories and research. I knew even back then how important social support and social integration are to health and wellbeing, and my understanding of that fact has only grown since I have struggled from social isolation.
That's what piqued my interest in this video, and that's why I am linking to it in several of my recent blog posts. As people become more and more isolated, thanks to global markets and the internet taking over everything important to human thriving, I think the lessons in this video will only become more important.
Please take the time to watch it, think about its relevance to your own life, and share it with those you love.
