Americans who prioritize quality relationships tend to live happier and longer lives, according to the director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development. The study, which began in 1938, suggests that staying actively connected to a few people is crucial for overall well-being. Researchers found that individuals with stronger social ties had better physical health and lived longer. Other factors contributing to happiness include optimizing physical health, investing in personal relationships, expressing core values, and adapting to changes in relationships. It is important to note that happiness varies from person to person and isn’t constant.
