"Create a more meaningful and satisfying life" --Cover.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"What makes for a good life? A fulfilling and satisfying life? A happy life? The answer: relationships. The longest scientific study of happiness ever conducted [Harvard Medical School] -- supported by many other studies -- shows that strong relationships make for a good life. Good relationships keep us healthier and happier. What kind of relationships? All kinds. Marriages and long-term partnerships. Families. Friends. Work colleagues. Friendships made in places of worship; on the playground or the tennis court; in a book club; at a community gathering. Good relationships can be made anywhere and at any time in our lives. As we have seen during the pandemic, personal relationships give us resilience and provide happiness and meaning. [The book] brings together science and personal stories to show how connections with others build a foundation for our well-being. It includes advice on how to make, keep, and strengthen relationships. It is the book we need now more than ever." --Jacket.
