A new study from Richard Davidson & his Center for Investigating Healthy Minds shows that people who experience chronic marital stress are less able to savor positive experiences & more vulnerable to depression. Davidson is interested in how to help people change this weakened ability to enjoy positive experiences, to enable them to become more resilient to stress. To paraphrase the bumper sticker: Stress happens, says Davidson. There is no such thing as leading a life completely buffered from the slings and arrows of everyday life. By understanding the mechanisms that make individuals more prone to depression and other emotional disturbances, Davidson is hoping to find tools — such as meditation — to stop it from happening in the first place.
