The document discusses how emotions, behaviors, and ideas can spread through social networks like epidemics. It notes that behaviors like obesity, smoking, and depression have been shown to spread interpersonally through social ties. In contrast, positive attributes like happiness, kindness, and love may also spread in a contagious way. The document argues we should start an "epidemic" of spreading love through social networks since love has been shown to be a contagion. It concludes by providing references that explore how social networks and emotional contagion influence people.
