The Importance of Intuition in Understanding Happiness

There is a very strong belief that social media uses bad if you do it too much and there is a lot of research coming out now that used really robust methods. I think we as a scientist overestimate the strength of the evidence for social relationships as they are related to well-being. If we look at more objective measures of social relationships those things typically don't correlate that strongly with well-being so how much time you spend with your friends can have an impact on happiness.
