THE KANZI POWER HACKS – THE POWER OF LOVE

The power of love. Countless songs, poems and books have been written about it. And it is unquestionably one of the most powerful emotions we know.

But it’s not just songwriters, authors and artists that understand its immense power. Over the past decades scientists have been intrigued about what makes love and human connection so incredibly powerful. 

What we know on a biological level is that the feeling of love and intimacy releases high levels of dopamine, a chemical that activates the reward circuit, making love pleasurable, uplifting and energising. 

And love can come in many different shapes and sizes, from the romantic type to that felt towards your children, family, or friends. Many studies have shown that the strength of these social ties is one of the strongest predictors of longevity, quality of life and overall energy levels.

The longest of these studies was started in 1938 and continues to this very day with the children and grandchildren of the original participants. And the results are very clear: The Power of Love is the single most important thing to give us health, energy, and overall life satisfaction.
