Hi everybody this is God's sad for the sad truth I recently had the doctor

Randy Nessie who's a pioneer in evolutionary medicine and a psychiatrist and then a

couple of days ago I had Dr Drew Pinsky who's an addiction physician specialist and today I've got another psychiatrist and physician Robert Waldinger or colloquially Bob. you doing Bob good it's it's so nice to be to I have your book right here your latest book with Mark Schultz please go out and get this the secrets to a a good life, you want to read it.

But before we do that, let me just read some of your bio,

priest maybe we'll get into that you're the director of the incredible longitudinal study called

the Harvard study of adult human development I think maybe it's been about eight decades now.

Your books include, as I said, the latest one, The Good Life Lessons from the World's

largest scientific study of happiness with Mark Schultz and a much earlier book,

psychiatry for medical students. Did I hit all of the key points, Bob, or would you like to add anything?
