Relationships

Evidence-Based Best Practices for maintaining friendships and love relationships between your partner and family.
"But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls." -Khalil Gibran
Since the Internet is full of relationship advice, developing this page is a low priority. However, every bit of evidence suggests developing relationships should be your highest priority if you want to be happy.
Determining who is going to provide good relationship advice and who is not is important. For example, Andrew Huberman offers a lot of relationship advice, but recent revelations about his personal life have undermined most of it. The fact that he doesn't always practice what he preaches is hardly unique to him, and there may be some "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" going on. At the same time, there are plenty of great content creators out there without these shortcomings who are saying the same things. Long story short, the Huberman video offering relationship advice on this page has been replaced.
This episode of Plain English with Derek Thompson is an excellent discussion on the crisis of loneliness in modern society and what can be done to rebuild community and provide more opportunities for IRL friendships. ‘The Anti-Social Century’: America’s Epidemic of Solitude—and How to Fix It
