    Mejor cita de The Science of Love: Relationships and Well-Being

    “

    The single most important factor for happiness, health, and even longevity isn't money, career success, or genetics—it's the quality of our relationships. We spend years learning professional skills but often expect relationships to work on autopilot, yet they require specific skills that can be learned and practiced.
