Robert Waldinger‘s talk about the 75 years study on human happiness is remarkable. The study itself is very remarkable – following the same cohort of people through three quarters of a century, since 1938. And the conclusions are very insightful.
Basically, it shows that good relationships make us happier and healthier. Not money, social status, being famous of any other similar parameter. There is a significant correlation between the quality of relationships at age 50 and happiness and health at age 80. On the other hand, the experience of loneliness proves to be highly toxic.
Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.
