When top scientists and psychologists talk about what's important to our overall wellbeing and how satisfied we are with our lives, the only thing that they all agree on is that social relationships are probably the single best predictor of our overall happiness.

You kind of restructure your whole personality to be in a healthy relationship.

Humans are social beings, and we are happier, and better, when connected to others.

The partner that you have is supposed to make you a better person, and when you're happy, you're a better person.

I think that more flow of information, the ability to stay connected to more people makes people more effective as people. And I mean, that's true socially. It makes you have more fun, right. It feels better to be more connected to all these people. You have a richer life.

People tend to become more emotionally intelligent as they age and mature.

Being with someone who is smart and gives good advice adds tremendously wonderful elements to your life.

In good relationships, we are happy to grow as the other person becomes part of us and who we are.

But once you are in that field, emotional intelligence emerges as a much stronger predictor of who will be most successful, because it is how we handle ourselves in our relationships that determines how well we do once we are in a given job.
