The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness
Book • 2023
This book, written by the directors of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, argues that the key to a happy and fulfilling life is strong relationships.
The study, which has followed the lives of over 1,300 individuals from two generations of families for more than 80 years, reveals that good relationships predict better health and happiness.
The authors present insights from the personal stories of the study's participants, supported by findings from numerous other scientific studies.
The book emphasizes that relationships in all forms—friendships, romantic partnerships, families, and more—contribute to a happier and healthier life, and it provides practical advice on how to strengthen and build these connections.
