“Positive close personal relationships are one of the key ingredients to living a fulfilled life. When our closest relationships are going well, everything else seems a little easier; we feel happier, more productive and generally satisfied with life,” shares Christopher Old, a psychology and personal development instructor at Sierra College, Tahoe-Truckee, in Truckee, CA. “When our relationships are not going well it affects our ability to work well, to parent well, to feel happiness and live the life we want to live."
Two upcoming events in Truckee, CA offer community members and visitors emotional intelligence insights.
