What makes us happy in life ?
There is a Harvard study that took 80 years to determine the number one thing that makes us happy in life. They followed the lives of 2 generations from same families for eighty years. Contrary to what we imagine, they discovered that it isn't the career achievements, corner office, diet, titles or money. It is the positive relationships that keep us healthy, happy and fulfilled. They called it Social Fitness.
In the US, loneliness has been described as an epidemic. Sixty million Americans report feeling lonely or socially isolated, 57% eat all their meals alone, and over a million people in NYC live by themselves. The pandemic deepened this isolation and has persisted into the post-covid era. Remote work often means days without face-to-face interactions. And yet, we rarely talk about it.
What does this have to do with Tennis ?
We realize how much community matters and how much it matters for people to get together. What if social connections were easier to make? We know tennis and we love tennis. So we created AD-IN - a place where like-minded people can meet, have fun, make friends.
To wrap up, the words of a modern Buddhist teacher Shohaku Okumura resonate deeply "The world we live in is the world we create".
