It's not one of those things, and the evidence is there. Harvard University did an 82-year study on happiness that began in 1938 in which they interviewed 724 teenage boys of all backgrounds and backgrounds, from Harvard students to young men living in homes where there was not even a plumbing.

And in general, there was an essential factor for human happiness wherever he lives and regardless of the level of success he reached, and over the course of 82 years, Harvard found that the only thing that made the biggest difference in the disparity of people’s happiness was… The quality of their relationships ...

And this does not mean the number of friends on Facebook or the number of phone numbers registered on their phones, but the quality and strength of their relationship with the people close to them.

When the study began, young people were in their late adolescence and continued until their death. They met them every two years in their homes, got their medical records, talked to their doctors, met their wives and children, and more than 2000 grandchildren over the years, over and over again, and they found that happiness or lack thereof is caused by their relationships. with the others .

But there was something else the professors didn't expect: the happiest people they studied were not only the most closely connected with friends, family, and community, but also lived longer.

They realized that social bonds benefit health and that loneliness is toxic and deadly. In fact, 70 different studies with more than 3.4 million participants have proven that social isolation and loneliness are associated with early death and found that men who are more satisfied with their relationships when they were 50 years old enjoy better health and men The least satisfied in their relationships at the age of 50 did not reach the age of 80.

What can we learn from the study of the 82 years? 

If you want to be happy, you should focus on one thing, which is the quality of your relationship with those around you and those close to you. Of course, you should pursue the success you want (money, home, car, and work), but do not think that these things will make you happy, do not think It will fill the void inside you.

The only thing that makes you feel great is close and strong relationships, so love those around you and give priority to improving your relationships with others, success, money, satisfaction, health and happiness, they will find you automatically.
