Lean Quote: The Good Life is Built With Good Relationships

On Fridays I will post a Lean related Quote. Throughout our lifetimes many people touch our lives and leave us with words of wisdom. These can both be a source of new learning and also a point to pause and reflect upon lessons we have learned. Within Lean active learning is an important aspect on this journey because without learning we can not improve.

"The good life is built with good relationships."   —  Robert J. Waldinger   

I recently came upon this Ted Talk by Robert Waldinger. Robert is an American psychiatrist and Professor at Harvard Medical School. He is known for his world-famous TED talk about his findings from a 75-year-long Harvard study on adult happiness.  This Harvard study is still being conducted today, even after 75 years from inception. This is a study about life and relationships.  It is important to understand and practice good habits to achieve good relationships. I hope you enjoy Robert's Ted Talk below. 

If you want a satisfying life, career success and financial well-being should be subordinate to the strength of the connections you make with the people who matter most.

Life as a human here on Earth is ultimately all about relationships.
