The Good Life

What makes for a good life? A fulfílling and satisfying life? A happy life? The answer is simple but powerful—-relationships. The longest scientific study of happiness ever conducted shows that strong relationships are the key to a good life—not just marriage and long-term partnerships, but also relationships with family and friends, work colleagues and community members, even those everyday acquaintances who seem more casual than close. Good relationships keep us healthier and happier, contribute to our resilience, and provide meaning in our lives. And it’s never too late to grow and nurture fulfilling relationships. The Good Life brings together Science and personal stories to show us how.
