There is no greater prediction in the research of our levels of happiness than the breadth and depth of our relationships.

Too often we forget how powerful we are as individuals to shape how other people see the world. Each one of us constantly broadcasts to other people - whether consciously or unconsciously - verbally or non-verbally - and those messages influence their brain.

We are all constantly transmitting information to the people around us, and the messages we choose to communicate either create success or hold us all hold back.

There is a compelling case showing us that we actually change people all the time. And when we fully realize this, we start to see how powerful we are to get others unstuck, see that their behavior matters, and start taking steps to create happiness and success in their lives.

If you want a particular behavior from someone else, try spotlighting those times when he or she is already doing it.

With technology and over-scheduling, we are forgetting to invest time in simple connective moments with others.

Surfing the web often comes at the cost of face-to-face time with friends and family.
