What makes a good life? Lessons from the longest study on happiness

Posted on August 15, 2019 by agogo22

What keeps us happy and healthy as we go through life? If you think it’s fame and money, you’re not alone – but, according to psychiatrist Robert Waldinger, you’re mistaken. As the director of a 75-year-old study on adult development, Waldinger has unprecedented access to data on true happiness and satisfaction. In this talk, he shares three important lessons learned from the study as well as some practical, old-as-the-hills wisdom on how to build a fulfilling, long life.

    I will make a guess before I watch it: Most people want to be loved and feel safe?

    First I was wondering why they only chose men, but 75 years ago, I guess, it was not a thing to do with women. Interesting findings. .
