The Paramount Significance of Warm Relationships in Human Happiness

 

Write a well-developed and well-organized essay in which you either agree or disagree with the conclusion that the Harvard Study came to, which is that “close relationships, more than money, career, or fame [social class, IQ, or even genes], are what keep people happy throughout their lives.” Support your position, providing reasons and examples from your own experience, observations, research, and reading.
note: “Relationships” here refers to not only romantic relationships but others that enhance our lives; friendships, workout buddies, book club members, family relationships,
relationships with colleagues, etc.
Also, we are defining “good relationships” as those that are warm and supportive, as opposed to, for example, high-conflict relationships or relationships in which people don’t feel emotionally safe.
