You know that good friends make a difference in your life in many ways. They even impact the way you view your challenges.
Researchers asked participants to stand at the base of a steep hill and estimate how tough it would be to climb. Those standing with a friend gauged the ascent to be less steep compared with those who were alone. The longer the study participants had known their friends, the more gentle they estimated the incline to be.*
What could you do today to connect with a friend? It might turn one of your (or their) mountains into a mole hill.
