Summary

What if we’re going about happiness and longevity all wrong? In our latest episode, Dr. Greg Kelly is joined by Dr. Robert J. Waldinger, a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, Zen priest, and Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development. Our conversation centers around one of the world’s longest studies of adult life, spanning over 80 years. Over the years, researchers studied the participants’ health trajectories and their broader lives, including their achievements and failures in careers and marriage, and the findings produced startling life lessons. Teaser: people’s level of satisfaction with their relationships at age 50 was a better predictor of physical health than their cholesterol levels were.
