We often hear that Earth is the "perfect planet" for sustaining life or it's in the "Goldilocks zone" but is this not a little naïve? Would it be possible for the earth to be *even better* suited to life than it is?
Is it possible that there are planets out there that are significantly *more* habitable and life is stronger faster and more intelligent as a result?

The term you want to search for is superhabitable planet

But with only one example of a habitable planet, it's difficult to understand the parameters needed to figure out exactly what the optimum would be.
