Any social science study will tell you

Any social science study will tell you relationships are key to happiness and well-being. But there’s more. Friendship isn’t just an elective in the course of life, it’s required. In my line of work I’ve seen many successful leaders have a moral meltdown and implode. 

A cursory investigation more times than not reveals an isolated person who was incarcerated in solitary confinement by their own success. Solomon, the most successful king to have ever lived, put words to this when out of his vast wisdom he said, Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.

For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
