Effective communication is not enough to have fulfilling relationships. If you want to enjoy healthy, vibrant relationships, romantic or otherwise, three essential steps need to occur prior to communicating.
It turns out that this kind of thinking is reversed. It actually works the other way around. If you decide to be happy, then your job and your relationships are likely to be successful and fulfilling.
People who are happy feel better, focus better, think more clearly, have better access to all regions of their brains, have quicker more agile responses to changing circumstances and solve problems better. Happy people are more empathetic and creative, which means they will be more diplomatic, interesting and enjoyable to be around.
In essence, happy people perform better at work and have better relationships.
