Researchers working with the Harvard 75-year study of adult development that was begun in 1928, have drawn some significant conclusions. Dr. Robert Waldinger, the fourth director of this study of happiness and satisfaction, presented some research results in a TED talk: 'Can a 75-Year-Old Study Deliver Wisdom for All of Us? What makes a good life? Lessons from the oldest study on Happiness.'
Waldinger discussed three specific findings under the general heading of: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.
1. Individuals
with good social connections are happier, healthier, and live longer.
Loneliness is toxic. Those who describe themselves as lonely tend to experience
more brain-function decline and tend to live shorter lives.
The human brain is
relational. Do you have social relationships and do you regularly connect and
interact with those individuals? More tomorrow.
