Michigan Today, an alumni publication at my alma mater, recently posted videos showing a Michigan researcher talking about happiness<\/a>.
\nChristopher Peterson, a professor of psychology, talks about what makes life worth living, and about happiness, creativity and resilience.
\nHe said something in the first video<\/a> that simmers down the findings of his life’s work to one sentence:<\/p>\n

\nIf you really don’t want to listen to me for the next hour,

So it seems to me that good relationships are the meaning of life. They make us happier, they help us live longer.
\nWhy is it then that we often don’t treat our relationships as being as important as our work, our exercise, our errands and all the other things that fill up our days?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
