Carver developed a number of helpful diagnostic tools over the course of his career. This test was originally created to determine if the amount of support a breast cancer patient receives changes her life for the better. It showed that yes, more support leads to better well-being—and a better sex life.

It turns out that having a network of support in your life leads to a better prognosis for wealth as well.
