The Good Life

Dr. Marc Schulz
April 4, 2023

The webinar will focus on lessons from the Harvard Study of Adult Development (HSAD) and from The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness, co-authored by our guest and Robert Waldinger. For 85 years, HSAD has closely followed individuals from over 700 families from adolescence until the end of their lives and is now working with more than 1,300 children of original participants. The findings from HSAD and those of other studies point to the critical role of relationships in shaping our happiness and health. We will discuss these findings and steps that audience members can take to improve their relationship health and happiness.
