Leonia NJ, in a 2015 TedTalk, Robert Waldinger- director of study on adult development- stated that a good life is one of which individuals remain in a happy state.

However, if we trace back in time, it is evidently shown that the human race had tendencies to group together (whether out of survival instincts or loneliness). The social characteristics of the human race remain true today- individuals are in a happy state when they are in “good” relationships.
