Social Skills

Social skills are meta-skills.

They will make you happier, healthier, and wealthier.

Robert Waldinger conducts the longest study in the world on health and happiness.
He summarizes the key to happiness and health like this:

Good relationships keep us happier and healthier

Diener & Seligman reach the same conclusions while Robert Greene says that success without social intelligence is not real and will not last.
Workplace success is also strongly correlated. Dale Carnegie says the ability to get along with people is the most important skill in the workplace and Ray Dalio says that meaningful relationships and meaningful work go hand in hand.

The bottom line, interpersonal skills, and meaningful relationships are top priorities in a successfully happy life.
