Our lives are made up of many relationships—our parents, relatives, teachers, friends, children, partners in love and business, the mail carrier, and even salespeople at your local stores. The list goes on and on.

We don't exist in a vacuum, and—like it or not—everyone, from our closest family and friends to randomly encountered strangers, plays a vital role in how we experience ourselves and the world around us. These relationships form the core of our life experience. If this is true, then the way to having a more happy, successful and satisfying life can only be found through creating more happy, successful and satisfying relationships.
