The uncomplicated secret to a happy life

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm on 31 January 2023

A good life is a complicated life. It's got highs and lows and it's messy, but meaningful, happy and healthy if you put effort into one thing. Not diet. Not exercise. Not a great career, but relationships with other people. This is what researchers have concluded from one of the most unique studies of human life in the world. Researchers at Harvard University have  followed the lives of more than 200 men over the past 80 years. Professor Marc Shultz is the associate director of the study and co-author of The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness.
