When I stumbled upon this Ted Talk, I had to share. After watching this video, I immediately ran to my husband and hugged him! This video is worth the watch, and it will tell you the secret to happiness!!
Robert Waldinger is the fourth person to lead this research study that has been going on for 75 years! Essentially, since 1938 they compared and tracked 724 men in two groups, and their children, now over 2000 people, to see how their lives turned out. Comparing and contrasting a group from the poorest area in Boston with a group of sophomores in Harvard College.
Robert Waldinger says, “The Harvard Study of Adult Development may be the longest study of adult life that’s ever been done. We’ve tracked the lives of 724 men, year after year, asking about their work, their home lives, their health, and of course asking all along the way without knowing how their life stories were going to turn out.”
“The clearest message that we get from this study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.”
