Module 7: Relationships

Can a simple "Hello" boost your happiness?  â€‹

From lifelong studies at Harvard to daily micro-interactions with strangers, researchers continue to find the same truth: strong relationships are the single best predictor of well-being.

 

This module features three fascinating studies:

​

  • One that has been running for over 80 years — and is still going — making it the longest study on happiness in the history of psychology.

  • Another that explores how starting brief conversations with new people can unexpectedly boost mood and well-being.

  • And a third that asks whether there’s a limit to the number of relationships we can meaningfully maintain at once. What would be your guess: 5, 10, 150, over a thousand?
