Summary

For all our modern so-called progress, global happiness levels have been consistently going down, especially in the richest and most developed countries. So what does it really take to be happy? Since 1938, Harvard scientists have been closely studying the lives of over 700 individuals to answer that very question. In this episode, two of those scientists - Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz - discuss the surprising results of what is known as the “World’s Longest Study of Happiness,” and why they are consistently finding that meaningful relationships are the key to living a long, happy, flourishing life.

0:00.0	Hi, friends, Annie F Downs here. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or unsure where to
0:05.7	begin when it comes to reading scripture, I want to invite you to read the Gospels with me every
0:10.3	month. That's Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Every day on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast
0:15.8	is an invitation to slow down and spend intentional time with Jesus through Scripture.
0:21.3	I started reading through the Gospels in a month because I kept trying to read the whole Bible
0:25.3	in a year and would find myself getting behind and getting frustrated.
0:28.8	So I asked myself, what if I just started with the Gospels?
0:32.2	And it turns out I kept wanting to read them over and over, and it has changed my life.
0:37.6	If you do three chapters a day for 30 days, you get all four books read in a month, and we've
0:42.4	been doing that on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast for years now.
0:46.7	Every day on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast, we read three chapters, and then I end
0:51.5	with a prayer.
0:52.3	That's it.
0:52.8	It's simple, and each episode is around 15 minutes
0:55.5	of your day. Every month, we read a different version of the four Gospels and in different
1:00.4	order, so you can scroll back and pick your favorite, or you can just hit play on today's
1:04.8	episode and listen along with the version we've chosen for that month. I say it often because
1:10.2	I believe it. You don't have to
1:11.7	be in the Gospels every day to be changed, but every day you're in the Gospels will change you.
1:17.2	Subscribe today to the Let's Read the Gospels podcast and let's spend a month together reading about
1:21.8	Jesus's life and ministry on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals,
1:28.2	and the miracles.
