At a time when the Surgeon General has declared loneliness a national endemic, the need for connection is greater than ever. Living in a state of loneliness is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day and increases premature death by 26 percent. It increases the risk for Alzheimers by 50 percent, the risk of heart disease by 29 percent and the risk of stroke by 32 percent.
The longest running Happiness Study (Harvard) found the #1 determinant of happiness, health and longevity is the quality of our relationships with others. CONNECTIONS brings people together for the goal of helping them build, nurture and maintain positive and meaningful relationships through guided story-sharing. See story here.
