"Companies with better than a 2.9:1 ratio for positive to negative statements are flourishing. Below that ratio, companies are not doing well economically. We call this the 'Losada ratio,' named after the brazlian Marcel Lasada, who discovered this fact. But don't do overboard with positivity. Life is a ship with sails and rudder. Above 13:1, without a negative rudder, the positive sails flap aimlessly, and you lose your credibility. John Gottman computed the same statistic by listening to couples' conversations for entire weekends. A 2.9:1 menas you are headed for divorce. You need a 5:1 ratio to predict a strong and loving marriage - five positive statements for every critical statement you make of your spouse. A haabit of 1:3 in a couple is an unmitigated catastrophe." - Martin Seligman
