Mental Prosperity is the ability to get the most out of yourself and get the most out of people around you.

One of the greatest challenges in our society is how do we live a longer and fuller life?

Well, I  have been noting for many years how we are getting less and less involved in each other's lives.
Walking down a hallway and no one makes eye contact anymore. No one says hello! No one gets on the elevator and asks the first person who got on to PUSH THE BUTTON for our floor.
I have been in a crowded elevator and people will squeeze forward to push their floor button because they are afraid of bothering someone else to push that damn button!
I have walked down an empty hallway at work and someone walking towards me would rather look at the wall rather than say hello or make eye contact with a stranger. (OK, I may seem stranger than most.)
But, we stopped talking in elevators, in hallways, in lines. Now we text or stare at videos on our phones.
And it is this lack of communication and connection that will contribute to us dying sooner and more unhappy than ever in our history.
And now I can add, it is backed up by facts. Mine were observations and beliefs until this research and wonderful Tex Talk offered more significant proof.
Listen and learn my friends.
