Starting our day off with a dose of negativity can have lasting effects.

Even five minute meaningful conversations with other people not only fuel us in the moment but also build up a reserve of social capital so that when hard times strike, we can draw down on that bank account.

We are ALL broadcasters.

Too quickly, venting can turn into dumping garbage on the people around us.

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.

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