The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness

Remember the vlog we did (and repeated) a few Christmases ago about the TED Talk by Dr. Robert Waldinger? The one we tied into the story of George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) in the holiday classic It’s a Wonderful Life? Waldinger’s TED presentation was based on the Harvard happiness research product he leads. Finally in 2023, he expanded his miraculous TED Talk into a full length book, a NY Times bestseller, co-written by Dr. Marc Schulz.
