What is the key to a happy, fulfilling life? Dr. Bob Waldinger, MD, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, cofounder of the Lifespan Research Foundation, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Zen master, and author has been leading an extraordinary scientific endeavor that has tracked the same individuals and their families for over 8 decades to determine what really makes a good life. He shares why relationships play such an important role in our health and wellbeing, how to strengthen your connections with other people, what misconceptions we've been taught to believe about happiness, and how to embrace both the joys and difficulties that make the human experience so rich.
