Tiny Habits: Wave, smile, say hello

Did you know there’s a large body of research on friendliness?It turns out that people who say hello, wave, smile at their neighbors are happier people.Maybe this sounds like a triteness, yet as hyper-relational creatures we require high doses of connection – and somehow have forgotten this in our busyness, in our heads downness, in our very recent acceptance of unfriendliness as a culturally acceptable norm – to this, please, just say no.
