Listen now to get the main key ideas from Robert Waldinger & Marc Schulz's The Good Life.
The good life is closer than you think, though it may not be easy to achieve. In The Good Life (2023), Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz, the current leaders of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, reveal the secret to a happy life. The study, which is the longest-running scientific examination of happiness, proves that human connections and relationships are key to a healthy mind and body. Waldinger and Schulz detail the importance of taking the initiative to care for our relationships with people, whether at work or at home. All their findings are backed by stories of study participants who were followed for decades.
