Isolation - a Big Killer
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT ... EQ IS ABOUT HEALTH
From "The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition Into The Forces of History" by Howard Bloom:
"Even mere distortions in the bonds of social connectedness can affect health.
"According to a study by J. Stephen Heisel of the Charles River Hospital in Boston, the activity of natural killer cells--the body's defenders from disease--is low for people who, on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Test, demonstrate depression, social withdrawal, guilt, low self esteem, pessimism and maladjustment. Those who withdraw have pulled away from the embrace of their fellows. Those with guilt are certain that their sins have marked them for social rejection. The maladjusted have failed to mesh with those around them. And those with low self-esteem are convinced that others have good reason to shun them.
"In the study, low natural killer cell activity wasn't linked to use of medication, alcohol, marijuana or recent medical treatment--just to measures of impaired social connection."
