Social and emotional engagement makes you a happier person, restores
homeostasis, self-regulation in
your body and actually expands your
network of relationships so you can
create a more meaningful,
purposeful and successful life.
There are many studies that show that if you're
within 10 feet of a person and you smile at
them, they'll smile back at you.
If you're within five feet of them and you smile at
them and say hello, they'll smile back and say
hello. And if they're less than two feet you can
even pat them and say hello and
smile and they'll do the same.
This is by mirroring.
Mirroring actually helps you
engage socially.
It's up to you to make the connection, not wait for other
people to make connections.
You can make any statement with
a stranger.
Deepak only ask important questions like,
"Who are you?
What do you want?
What's your purpose?
What is the meaning of existence?"
But you can ask simple questions too. "Do
you like the weather?
How are you?
How is your day going? Social
and emotional intelligence are the two things
that are most associated with a
long and happy life.
