If eudaemonic happiness causes protective gene expression, a lack of it (the article suggests) could be bad for one's health.

Good article btw, thanks for posting.

Hey Clara
No problem. Yeah it's triggering my anxiety because loneliness is clearly something I struggle with. But I'm still grateful you posted it! Information is always good and I'm a person for whom curiosity is a strong inner drive, and I'm interested in science.
