God says, when you laugh, the whole world laughs with you. It turns out that happiness, like a virus, is also contagious! American research has found that if the people around you maintain a happy mood, then those around you will also become happy. The more happy people you know, the higher the chance you will also become happy. Wanting to be happy is actually quite simple.
Harvard University and the University of California, San Diego, tracked over 5,000 adults for 20 years and found that as long as the people around you are happy, you will also feel happy. The research results show that if your significant other is happy, you have an 8% chance of also being happy, and if a friend is happy, you have a 9% chance of becoming happy. As for wanting to achieve happiness in the shortest time possible, finding a happy neighbor is the most powerful, with a happiness infection rate of up to 34%.
Since happiness is contagious, of course, unhappy emotions can also affect those around you. In times of economic downturn, wanting to shake off depression, a simple smile can not only make you happy but also benefit others, becoming a healthy "carrier of happiness."
