"We discovered that if your friend's friend's friend……" — Nicholas A. Christakis
"We discovered that if your friend's friend's friend gained weight, you gained weight. We discovered that if your friend's friend's friend stopped smoking, you stopped smoking. And we discovered that if your friend's friend's friend became happy, you became happy."
