13 years ago while living in NYC, I haphazardly attended a meditation class. I had no interest or prior experience with meditation, Buddhism of any sect or anything spiritual for that matter.

According to Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego: “When an individual becomes happy, the network effect can be measured up to three degrees. One person’s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends, and his frien …
