Your colleagueΓÇÖs husbandΓÇÖs sister can make you fat, even if you donΓÇÖt know her. A happy neighbor has more impact on your happiness than a happy spouse. Emotions are contagious, health behaviors spread: in fact, our social networks influence our ideas, emotions, health, relationships, politics and every aspect of our lives. We donΓÇÖt live in groups, we live in networks: as proven through research ranging from bank runs to suicide prevention, from nut allergies in schoolchildren to epidemics in virtual worlds, from the spread of happiness to the spread of voting.
