When we wholeheartedly praise and applaud the success of our friends, and celebrate together with them in their moment of glory, good fortune accrues in our own lives. On the other hand, if we feel envious of them or make their achievement seem like it wasn't really that big an accomplishment after all, then we actually end up erasing our own good fortune. Women who can go the extent of helping their friends win success and good fortune are doctors of happiness.
