The secret to happiness is love. #livebetterbehappier #shorts

The secret to happiness is love. It's relationships with people. And there's this neurophysiology to that that's very interesting. There's a hormone called oxytocin in the human brain that comes from eye contact and touch. And you get almost none of it virtually. There's just a trickle of that that comes along. So the reason that people will binge social media is because they're lonely, because they have a deficit of this oxytocin hormone. So they go online and they try to get contact. That's like getting all of your calories from burgers and fries. You'll get too many calories, not enough nutrients. You'll get less and less and less healthy. And that's what happens when all your time is on Zoom or social media and so forth and so on. We need more human contact than we're getting.
