Do your Friends Lift your Spirits? | Psych-100 | Chapter 66 | Flourish with Diane Planidin

Groups usually exist for a reason. In groups, we solve problems, create products, create standards, communicate knowledge, have fun, perform arts, create institutions, and even ensure our safety from attacks by other groups. But do groups always outperform individuals?

Groups have instrumental, practical value, but also emotional, psychological value. In groups we find others who appreciate and value us. In groups we gain the support we need in difficult times, but also have the opportunity to influence others. In groups we find evidence of our self-worth, and secure ourselves from the threat of loneliness and despair. For most of us, groups are the secret source of well-being.

Live an Inspired Life and seek out a Group that has your best interests at heart.  This episode will help to explain the dynamics of groups and why they do and do not always work.
