Relationships have the greatest impact on our happiness. There is an energy that exists between humans that increases connection and allows for us to feel stronger, happier, more centered and grounded when we have a sense of belonging.

If happiness were a matter of genetics alone, I believe that I would have a genetic predisposition for unhappiness.

there are already approximately 40,000 books published on how to be happy—but as a species we are not getting happier. Another thing I’ve noticed is that despite many scientists studying happiness, there are few actually implementing the findings. Although many researchers know the statistics, the validity, the opposing research and the ongoing studies, these happiness experts don’t look or sound happier than average.
