What are the 3 factors highly increasing your teen's risk of suicide?Is my child at risk?Do I really know my child? Do I know how my child sees themselves?Does my child really feel seen and like they belong here? In this episode, Dr. Skinner shares how suicidal thoughts are actually much more common than we might believe, noting that most people have momentarily entertained the thought. However, those at risk are typically individuals who align with these 3 factors:1. I'm impulsive, 2. I feel I am in a crisis, 3. I have access.Hence, the unusually high risk of teen suicide.Studies show access to a gun or a form of poisoning likely through medical pills or substances, HIGHLY increases chances of a teen attempting suicide. Also, most teens attempt suicide under an hour of deciding. Our discussion also highlights the role we have as parents of creating and sustaining a warm home environment, drawing on the Grant Study to show how loving, deeply communicative relationships in childhood lead to longterm resilience, safety and belonging.The concept of "accompaniment" is introduced, illustrating how attuned parenting help children feel known and safe along their years of tender growth. Our conversation concludes with the importance of community support, kindness, education...... and these resources below.Support and Resources Mentioned in this Episode: My Life Is Worth Living Series: ⁠https://mylifeisworthliving.org/⁠Parent Guidance Courses On Suicide: ⁠https://parentguidance.org/all-courses/"How to Know a Person" by David Brooks:https://a.co/d/45LYFUDShow Notes:00:00 Introduction to Finding Noble00:28 Special Edition: Suicide Awareness02:36 Understanding Who is at Risk of Suicide 05:40 Warning Signs and Prevention08:31 The Necessity for Vulnerable Dialogue13:32 The Story Formation of Identity17:43 Numbing Out of our Feelings23:27 Loneliness, Trust, and Safety in our Closest Relationships24:13 Understanding the Art of Connection24:27 The Core Need to Be Seen25:28 Reframing to See Oneself as Part of Whole– Belonging to the World27:49 The Impact of Childhood Relationships– Grant Study28:41 Warm Homes vs. Cold Homes31:41 Eliminating Barriers and Realigning our Time with our Values37:45 Generational Trauma and Cellular Memories42:25 The Power of Accompaniment47:54 Support for Families Facing SuicideWatch the episodes on Youtube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FindingNoblePodcastWe are hoping to help homes, families and educators everywhere…so please like, review, subscribe and... even share with friends and family looking for parenting support.To subscribe to helpful emails head here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://findingnoble.com/about/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠***SEND YOUR PARENTING QUESTIONS TO: hello@findingnoble.com

Den folgenden Podcast habe ich auf Grundlage einer Idee aus dem Buch "Die bessere Hälfte" von Dr. med. Eckart von Hirschhausen und Pro. Dr. med. Tobias Esch aufgenommen. Sie bezieht sich auf die "Grant Study". Der Podcast wurde im Rahmen von "Denkraum Deutschland - Hey Alter" aufgenommen. Tamara Dietl wurde als Krisenexpertin und Autorin zu einer Diskussionsrunde über das Thema "Alter - eine Krise!?" von Miro Craemer eingeladen. Tamara Dietl war bereit mit mir über ihre ganz persönlichen Vorbilder zu sprechen.Zur Grant Studie:Die Grant-Studie der Harvard University ist eine der längsten Längsschnittstudien in der Geschichte der Psychologie. Seit ihrer Initiierung im Jahr 1938 hat sie wertvolle Erkenntnisse darüber geliefert, was zu einem langen und zufriedenen Leben beiträgt. In dieser Studie wurden 268 männliche Harvard-Absolventen über Jahrzehnte hinweg begleitet, um verschiedene Aspekte ihres Lebens zu erforschen. Die Ergebnisse der Studie haben entscheidende Muster der Lebenszufriedenheit aufgezeigt. Diese Aspekte spielen eine zentrale Rolle dabei, wie wir altern und wie zufrieden wir im Laufe unseres Lebens sind.Beziehungen sind entscheidend für das Glück: Eine der zentralen Erkenntnisse ist, dass starke soziale Beziehungen, wie enge Freundschaften, eine glückliche Ehe und gute Familienbeziehungen, entscheidend für das Glück, die Lebenszufriedenheit und die psychische Gesundheit sind.Frühe Beziehungen prägen das Leben: Die Qualität der Beziehung zu den Eltern, insbesondere in den ersten Lebensjahren, hat langfristige Auswirkungen auf die spätere Lebenszufriedenheit und emotionale Gesundheit.Bewältigungsmechanismen beeinflussen die Lebensqualität: Die Art und Weise, wie Menschen mit Lebensherausforderungen umgehen, wirkt sich stark auf ihre spätere Lebensqualität aus. Positive Bewältigungsstrategien sind hierbei vorteilhaft.Alkoholismus ist ein wichtiger Faktor für Unglück: Alkoholismus erwies sich als einer der Hauptfaktoren für Scheidung, psychische Erkrankungen und beruflichen Misserfolg.Arbeit ist wichtig, aber nicht alles: Beruflicher Erfolg und Zufriedenheit sind wichtig, aber nicht so entscheidend für das allgemeine Glück wie qualitativ hochwertige Beziehungen.Vorbilder können nach Tobias Esch und von Hirschhausen ebenfalls für die Lebenszufriedenheit einen wichtige Rolle spielen und durch das Vorleben einen inneren Kompass in uns verankern. So habe ich mit Tamara Dietl über ihre Vorbilder zu den Themen - Wissen weitergeben, Humor, Dankbarkeit, Naturverbundenheit, Bewegung, Hingabe und Tapferkeit - gesprochen:Wissen weitergebenDie Weitergabe von Wissen ist nicht nur ein Akt des Lehrens, sondern auch des Verbindens und des Aufbaus von Gemeinschaften. Personen, die ihr Wissen und ihre Erfahrungen aktiv teilen, haben oft ein höheres Maß an Lebenszufriedenheit erfahren. Dieser Austausch fördert ein Gefühl der Sinnhaftigkeit und des Beitrags zur Gesellschaft, was gerade im Alter eine wichtige Rolle spielt.HumorHumor ist ein mächtiges Werkzeug, um mit den Herausforderungen des Lebens umzugehen. Die Fähigkeit, in schwierigen Zeiten lachen zu können, hilft nicht nur bei der Stressbewältigung, sondern stärkt auch soziale Bindungen. Mit Humor und Leichtigkeit kann das eigene Sein oft mit einer besseren geistigen Gesundheit und einem längeren Leben einhergehen.DankbarkeitDankbarkeit ist ein Schlüsselelement für ein zufriedenes Leben. Sie ermöglicht es uns, das Positive in unserem Leben zu erkennen und zu schätzen. Menschen, die Dankbarkeit üben, sind oft glücklicher und gesünder. Dankbarkeit hilft dabei, positive Emotionen zu kultivieren, was insbesondere im Alter wichtig ist, um sich auf das Wesentliche im Leben zu konzentrieren.NaturverbundenheitDie Verbindung zur Natur hat einen tiefgreifenden Einfluss auf unser Wohlbefinden. Menschen, die Zeit in der Natur verbringen, weisen oft eine bessere körperliche und geistige Gesundheit. Naturverbundenheit fördert die Achtsamkeit und hilft dabei, Stress abzubauen, was im Alter zunehmend wichtiger wird.BewegungRegelmäßige körperliche Aktivität ist ein Schlüsselfaktor für ein langes und gesundes Leben. Bewegung hilft nicht nur dabei, Krankheiten vorzubeugen, sondern unterstützt auch die geistige Gesundheit. Vielfältig wird gerade beim Älterwerden darauf hingewiesen. HingabeHingabe, sei es in Beziehungen, Beruf oder Hobbys, trägt maßgeblich zur Lebenszufriedenheit bei. Menschen, die sich leidenschaftlich einer Sache widmen, erfahren oft ein höheres Maß an Erfüllung. Diese Hingabe kann im Alter ein wichtiger Aspekt sein, um das Gefühl von Relevanz und Zweck zu bewahren. Dazu adressiert es den Aspekt der Generativität (Welche meiner Fähigkeiten möchte ich für die nachfolgenden Generationen einsetzen?), der ebenfalls für ein bewusstes und gesundes Älterwerden ein wichtiger Faktor ist. TapferkeitDas Leben erfordert Mut, und diejenigen, die Herausforderungen mit Tapferkeit begegnen, zeigen oft eine höhere Resilienz gegenüber den Unwägbarkeiten des Lebens. Tapferkeit im Umgang mit Schwierigkeiten kann bei Menschen zu einer besseren Anpassungsfähigkeit und Zufriedenheit im Leben führen.Die Erkenntnisse der Grant-Studie sind nicht nur wissenschaftlich relevant, sondern bieten auch praktische Leitlinien für ein erfülltes Leben. Vorbilder in diesen Bereichen zu haben, kann besonders beim Älterwerden eine unterstützende Rolle spielen. Sie zeigen Wege auf, wie man trotz der unvermeidlichen Herausforderungen des Lebens, Zufriedenheit und Erfüllung finden kann.Diese Vorbilder dienen als Inspiration und Wegweiser, wie man das Leben aktiv gestalten und das Beste daraus machen kann. Sie zeigen, dass es nicht nur auf die äußeren Umstände ankommt, sondern auch darauf, wie wir mit diesen Umständen umgehen. Im Alter, einer Phase des Lebens, die oft mit Veränderungen und Herausforderungen verbunden ist, können diese Prinzipien besonders wertvoll sein. Sie bieten Strategien, um mit körperlichen Einschränkungen, dem Verlust von Liebsten oder anderen Veränderungen umzugehen.Die Grant-Studie lehrt uns, dass ein zufriedenes und erfülltes Leben kein Zufallsprodukt ist, sondern oft das Ergebnis bewusster Entscheidungen und Einstellungen. Die Fähigkeit, Wissen zu teilen, Humor zu bewahren, Dankbarkeit zu üben, die Natur zu schätzen, körperlich aktiv zu bleiben, sich leidenschaftlich einer Sache zu widmen und mutig Herausforderungen zu begegnen, sind Fähigkeiten, die wir entwickeln und kultivieren können.Schließlich ist es wichtig zu erkennen, dass diese Lebensweisen nicht nur individuell nützlich sind, sondern auch die Gemeinschaft stärken. Indem wir positive Vorbilder in diesen Bereichen sind, tragen wir nicht nur zu unserem eigenen Wohlbefinden bei, sondern auch zum Wohlergehen der Menschen um uns herum.Die Grant-Studie ist ein kraftvoller Beweis dafür, dass es nie zu spät ist, Veränderungen in unserem Leben vorzunehmen und Wege zu einem zufriedeneren und gesünderen Dasein zu finden. Sie ermutigt uns, unabhängig von unserem Alter, aktiv an unserem Wohlbefinden zu arbeiten und ein Leben voller Zufriedenheit, Freude und Sinn zu führen.Folgende andere Podcastepisoden könnten interessant sein:https://gelassen-aelter-werden.de/was-sagen-wissenschaft-und-praxis-zum-uebergang-ins-rentnerdasein/oder https://gelassen-aelter-werden.de/34-der-sinn-des-lebens-nicht-nur-im-alter-mit-christian-uhle/Eine Bitte an unsere Hörerinnen und Hörer:Wir freuen uns über eine Bewertung unseres Podcasts.

Today we welcome Robert Waldinger to the podcast. Robert is a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and Zen priest. He is Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, where he directs the Harvard Study of Adult Development. His TEDx talk on this subject has received nearly 44 million views, and is the 9th most watched TED talk of all time. He is the co-author of The Good Life with Dr. Marc Schulz.In this episode, I talk to Robert Waldinger about the secret to a happy life. Robert shares with us the recent findings of The Grant Study, which is the longest scientific study of happiness ever conducted. It's been ongoing for more than 80 years now, and has had high profile participants like US President John F. Kennedy. Robert and I get into the details of how they continue to conduct research and how to make sense of both the new and old data. Sure enough, what the study has found consistent is the power of connection. We also touch on the topics of psychodynamic therapy, defense mechanisms, attachment, and psychological research.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Indiana authorities have identified an Indianapolis man who vanished in 1993 as the ninth presumed victim of a long-deceased businessman suspected in a string of killings in the 1980s and 1990s, a coroner said Tuesday.  A bone that was recovered in 1996 on Herbert Baumeister's Indianapolis-area property was identified through forensic genetic genealogy testing as remains of Allen Livingston thanks to a DNA swab sample his mother provided, Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison said.  Indiana University and Purdue University will examine the effectiveness of the state's Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative, or READI, grant program.  The study comes as the state is moving forward with its second round of READI grant funding.  Some local organizations received more money to help them address the root causes of violence after a fourth round of funding through the Elevation Grants was announced this week.  The program aims to reduce violence by funding grassroots groups. It was renamed last year.  This round of Elevation Grants provides more than $12 million in funding to 72 organizations. It reaches more neighborhoods and aims to empower young people, build resilience and support those who have been justice-involved.  Care farms are agricultural places for people with physical or mental health challenges to process their emotions, while performing farming tasks and working with animals. It's a popular concept in Europe that hasn't gained as much traction in the United States yet. But a new national network hopes to change that.

In this podcast we look at the Harvard "Grant Study" and what they identified as the number one indicator of happiness and longevity of life. We then look at what the scripture says concerning this. 

In this episode we rewrite the headlines: Massive Harvard Study Reveals the True Wealth of Nations. What is the true wealth of nations? Isn't it gross domestic product?And if nations are comprised of people, what is our true wealth?We're thinking through the true wealth of nations in relation to our last contemplation. At that time, we considered the famous Grant Study, more formally known as the Harvard Study of Adult Development. If you haven't heard about the study, it's worth listening to that other contemplation of it first.The present contemplation considers the paradigm shift we would need in order to make sense of the Harvard study—a revolution in our science and society, all in relation to the Gospel of Love that our science and our wisdom traditions now agree on.

It's an impressive study, the longest scientific study of adult development, conducted across decades (it started in 1938). Referred to as the Grant Study or the Harvard Study of Adult Development, this famous research program has gotten several rounds of press.But the press coverage seems to miss something incredibly vital and far-reaching in this study. Even the books have failed to make it clear. In a way, we could suggest the lead researchers of the study missed this finding—didn't notice it, didn't fully grok it, or didn't understand how crucial it is.This unstated finding is the most important finding about happiness and a meaningful and fulfilling life that we have.

Ep 439 - A Recipe for a Life Well-Lived Guest: Dr. Doug Clement   “May you live long and prosper” (“dif-tor-heh”) is an idiom from a Jewish term and is popularly attributed to Commander Spock of Star Trek. While that may be so, it is also an apt description of the life of Dr. Doug Clement.   “The questions,” asks Clement, “is how do you do both? Live long and prosper?” The average life expectancy in British Columbia is just north of 82 years. “So living long isn't the issue,” says Clement, “but living long isn't a guarantee [that] you will live well, especially when you cross the 60-year mark.”   According to Clement, there are a plethora of factors that contribute to wellness. He says they include “physical and mental fitness, an ongoing sense of purpose and contribution, a sufficient amount of money to alleviate financial stress, and happiness.” Clement also points to the findings of the Grant Study of Adult Development, a Harvard program that tracked the lives of 238 people between 1938 and 2000, which states, “The surprising finding is that our relationships and how happy we are in our relationships has a powerful influence on our health.”   We invited Dr. Doug Clement to join us for a Conversation That Matters about his recipe for a life well-lived.   Join me Feb 21 for Conversations Live - A Vancouver Sun Town Hall: Can we solve the Rental Housing Puzzle?   If you love communications and speech writing you'll gain valuable insights from Presidential SpeechWriting which I narrated.

This episode is also available on the Access Ideas podcast.What makes for a happy life, a fulfilling life? A good life? The authors of The Good Life promise the answer may be closer than you realize! Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz are the director and associate director of The Grant Study, also known as the Harvard Study of Adult Development, one of the most comprehensive longitudinal studies ever done, beginning in 1938 and continuing up to the present. The study initially followed the lives of two groups of men: one group of socially disadvantaged men (inner-city Boston boys from working-class families), and another group of privileged men (graduates of Harvard College). The study aimed to understand the factors that contribute to a successful and fulfilling life, and eventually expanded to include the spouses and children of these men.My hope is that by amplifying the findings of this extraordinary study, we can reframe popular ideas about happiness, health, and success!

A new report suggests a quarter of New Zealand children aged four-and-a-half  have "suboptimal" development health.The Growing Up in New Zealand Study also found children at a social and economic disadvantage,  are more likely to fall into this category.The study also finds that Maori and Pasifika children are most at risk of development health issues.Co-author Cameron Grant told Mike Hosking this is not surprising.He says there's a range of factors that cause this, including living in poorer households and not having health needs met.LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Laut Harvard Studium brauchen wir genau eine Sache für ein erfülltes Leben. 75 Jahre lang untersuchten Forscherinnen hunderte Menschen über ihre gesamte Lebensspanne hinweg. Sie fanden heraus, was uns wahrhaftig glücklich macht. Auf die Frage, was Glück für uns bedeutet, gibt es natürlich viele Antworten. Die einen legen Wert auf Gesundheit, die einen legen Wert auf ein schönes Zuhause und wieder andere empfinden Glück, wenn man sich einfach nur Zeit für sich hat und wenn man ein Buch lesen kann. Und obwohl es soviele unterschiedliche Antworten auf diese Frage gibt, gibt es diese eine Sache die alle miteinander verbindet. Aus der Analyse von zwei der längsten und umfangreichsten Studien, die je von Menschen über Menschen durchgeführt wurden, bleibt ein Ergebnis und zwar gute Beziehungen machen uns glücklicher und gesünder.

When the curator of the longest-running study on human flourishing, the Grant Study, was asked if there was any one factor that most contributed to a life well-lived, his answer was clear - love, full stop. In no small way, love makes a life. And, we're not just talking romantic love. So, today, we're bringing you a very special episode drawing upon the deep wisdom of five past guests, each experts in the space of love, relationships, and self-discovery, to share provocative, unique, and valuable insights about how to love and be loved, how to hold relationships with curiosity and allow room for growth, how to create a society-wide container of compassion, then invite everyone in, even those you struggle to like, or be in the same room with, let alone love. You'll hear from Julie and John Gottman, who've been married and also researching love and relationships, both clinically and in the lab for over 4 decades together, and writing mega-bestselling books on the topic. You'll hear from Diego Perez, who most know from his online moniker Young Pueblo, on creating the space for growth. Rev. angel Kyodo williams will share an expansive lens on love and its connection to compassion, holding the space for difference, and liberation. And, our friend, spoken-world artist, IN-Q, shared a beautiful spoken-word piece, framed by his own experience of falling in love, wrapping with an invitation for us all to find moments to create magic.If you LOVED this episode:You can find Julie & John Gottman at: Full Conversation | Website | InstagramYou can find Digeo Perez (Yung Pueblo) at: Full Conversation | Website | InstagramYou can find Rev. angel Kyodo williams at: Full Conversation | Instagram | WebsiteYou can find IN-Q at: Full Conversation | Website | InstagramMy new book Sparked.Check out our offerings & partners: Outschool: Explore over 100,000 topics and learn in small groups via Zoom.

Throughout the Torah, we hear many descriptions of Moshe (Moses), but a particularly powerful descriptor comes once he has died at the age of 120. “Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his eyes were undimmed and his vigor unabated.” - “וּמֹשֶׁ֗ה בֶּן־מֵאָ֧ה וְעֶשְׂרִ֛ים שָׁנָ֖ה בְּמֹת֑וֹ לֹא־כָהֲתָ֥ה עֵינ֖וֹ וְלֹא־נָ֥ס לֵחֹֽה” There are a lot of different interpretations of what this means. Some say this means he exuded the same light that shone from him as he descended Mount Sinai / Har Sinai for all of the days of his life. Others say this means his body did not show signs of aging even as he reached such an advanced age, and that he remained youthful even at 120. What does one do to remain youthful / have a long life? Personally, I have been anxious about aging since my 10th birthday. (Seriously, I remember crying on my final night as a 9 year old with the recognition that I will never be one digit ever again!!) And it was just my 24th birthday (I am approaching my mid-twenties and I don't know how to feel about it), which led me to some reflection on my values in general. In his commentary on this parsha, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks cites the Grant Study, which longitudinally tracked the lives of 268 Harvard students since 1938. The Grant Study sought to understand what leads to human flourishing. The psychiatrist George Vaillant wrote a number of books about the findings of this study. There are 2 dimensions of successful aging that are related to Moshe. A concept called “generativity,” or investing in forms of life and work that will outlive yourself. We have a choice once we reach a comfortable state of living - be static, or give back to others now that we ourselves are stable. A concept called “keeper of the meaning,” which refers to the wisdom that comes with age. Our elders are respected for their life experiences, and valued for passing on that wisdom to the younger generations. Moshe has spent the entire book of Devarim (Deuteronomy) performing generativity. Instead of hanging out, relying on his laudable past, or rehashing his mistakes, Moshe spends his final 5 weeks teaching the next generation how to live their lives, rehashing their history as a people and refreshing their memories on how to be moral, upstanding people in a social context. What good does setting B'nei Yisrael (the Children of Israel) up for success do for Moshe? Well, nothing. He's planting the seeds for the next generation with the knowledge he will never see the benefits. And regarding being a “keeper of the meaning” — we cannot count the amount of times “teach this to your children” has been said in the Torah. We are all about valuing the wisdom of old and making it new by teaching it to the young. This is reminiscent of the difference between hiddush (newness) and hidhadshut (renewal). Newness for the sake of new is worthless because it's not rooted in anything deeper or meaningful. Renewal is taking the wisdom of the old with us into the new. Moshe remained youthful till 120 because he retained hope for the future through all of his days. He never lost sight of the value of the next generation. I have always been someone who is impressed by success in any form. You're a math genius who scored a perfect 36 on the ACT? You have me in absolute awe. You're a supremely gifted dancer who can kick your face? I bow at your perfectly pointed toes. You're an innovative computer engineer who knows 10 coding languages? I don't understand you, but I respect you. But when I moved to New York, I realized there are lots of successful people everywhere.

Dieses mal geht es um Work-Life-Balance, ein abstraktes Thema welches wir versuchen, greifbarer zu machen. Wir diskutieren worum es bei Work-Life-Balance geht, “nur” Ausgleich oder übergeordnet Glück oder Zufriedenheit und streifen dabei auch die Grant Study [1]. Und wir gehen darauf ein, inwiefern “Always on” und Remote-Arbeit als Errungenschaften des Digitalzeitalters darauf Einfluss haben. Darauf aufbauend schauen wir, wie man die Work-Life-Balance erreichen kann, teilen unsere Erfahrungen und besprechen auch die Rolle von Unternehmen in diesem Zusammenhang. (Fun Fact: Wusstest ihr, dass bei Volkswagen E-Mails nur während der Arbeitszeit zugestellt werden?

A decades long ongoing study by Harvard University on health and happiness, often referred to as the Grant Study, has found that relationships are the greatest factor in overall health in life. This boils down to the quality of connection. Establishing meaningful connections in our lives helps develop a sense of love and belonging. It also helps provide confidence and security to move forward in our desire for a fulfilling life. A recent Harris Poll showed that only 33% of people considered themselves to be happy. Pursuing deeper connection is a step toward improving that statistic.

Tips On Happiness And How To Get Happy http://keywebco.strikingly.com/blog/tips-on-happiness-and-how-to-get-happy June 29, 2019 · Tips,Happiness,life Happiness is so interesting because we all have different ideas about what it is and how to get it. I would love to be happier, as I'm sure most people would, so I thought it would be interesting to find some ways to become a happier person that is actually backed up by science. Did you know that happy people are healthier people? Studies consistently show that those with a "Glass half full mentality" can boast lower blood pressure, less stress, healthier body weights, and stronger hearts than their less optimistic neighbors. There's something to having a positive outlook on life. Exercise has such a profound effect on our happiness and well-being that it's actually been proven to be an effective strategy for overcoming depression. In a study cited in Shawn Achor's book, The Happiness Advantage 1, three groups of patients treated their depression with either medication, exercise, or a combination of the two. We've explored exercise in depth before, and looked at what it does to our brains, such as releasing proteins and endorphins that make us feel happier, as you can see in the image below. It turns out, it's also important for our happiness. Our commute to the office can have a surprisingly powerful impact on our happiness. The fact that we tend to do this twice a day, five days a week, makes it unsurprising that its effect would build up over time and make us less and less happy. While many voluntary conditions don't affect our happiness in the long term because we acclimate to them, people never get accustomed to their daily trek to work because sometimes the traffic is awful and sometimes it's not. Two Swiss economists who studied the effect of commuting on happiness found that such factors could not make up for the misery created by a long commute. If you want more evidence that it's beneficial for you, I've found some research that proves it can make you happier right now. Social time is highly valuable when it comes to improving our happiness, even for introverts. Several studies have found that time spent with friends and family makes a big difference in how happy we feel, generally. We are happy when we have family, we are happy when we have friends and almost all the other things we think make us happy are actually just ways of getting more family and friends. In an interview in the March 2008 newsletter to the Grant Study subjects, Vaillant was asked, "What have you learned from the Grant Study men?" Vaillant's response: "That the only thing that really matters in life are your relationships to other people." Actual changes in income, on the other hand, buy very little happiness. So we could increase our annual income by hundreds of thousands of dollars and still not be as happy as if we increased the strength of our social relationships. Participants were found to be substantially happier outdoors in all natural environments than they were in urban environments. One of the most counterintuitive pieces of advice I found is that to make yourself feel happier, you should help others. Spending money on other people, called "Pro social spending," also boosts happiness. Participants recalled a previous purchase made for either themselves or someone else and then reported their happiness. Participants assigned to recall a purchase made for someone else reported feeling significantly happier immediately after this recollection; most importantly, the happier participants felt, the more likely they were to choose to spend a windfall on someone else in the near future. So spending money on other people makes us happier than buying stuff for ourselves. As opposed to actually taking a holiday, it seems that planning a vacation or just a break from work can improve our happiness. In the study, the effect of vacation anticipation boosted happiness for eight weeks.

Many people think getting what you want is secret to happiness. Adam Navis and Ruby Jones tell how this is not the whole truth! Voice 1Welcome to Spotlight. I'm Adam Navis.Voice 2And I'm Ruby Jones. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.Voice 1If you could wish for one thing, what would it be? Is there one thing that would make you happy? You may wish for a larger house, a better job, or a new car. These are all normal things which people think will bring them happiness. Most people believe that the rule for happiness is simple: happiness is getting what you want. But you know what? People are wrong.Voice 2Today's Spotlight is on this question: what makes people happy? In the end, we will find that people who seem happy as children are not always happy as adults. Also, people are not that good at knowing what will make them happy. And finally we will see how happiness has more to do with ourselves than with our situation.Voice 1Some important research began in 1937. It was called the Grant Study. This study involved several hundred male college students. It followed their lives over the next seventy [70] years. Every few years the men were examined by doctors. They had mental tests and answered a series of written questions. This information was collected and organized. Today, the men are old, so the information is being collected together. The results are interesting.Voice 2People who were happy as children were not always happy or successful as adults. The study used students from Harvard University. Harvard is one of the United State's top universities - and one of the most costly. As children, the students had financial security. They attended the best schools. As far as anyone could see, they were on the path to a good job, a good family, and happy life.Voice 1But not everyone developed into a happy healthy adult. In fact, those who reported the most happiness as adults often grew up in difficult situations, such as having a parent who hit them. The study showed that it was not a question of which men would experience trouble, but how they would react when they did. Everyone experiences trouble. It is often those people who have learned to deal with trouble when they were children who are best able to deal with it as adults.Voice 2Joshua Wolf Shenk is a writer. In the magazine ‘Atlantic Monthly', he wrote about some of the results of the research:Voice 3"... People learn how to deal with trouble from the pain of experience. They then use these skills through their whole lives. For example, compare two men - the study names them "David Goodhart" and "Carlton Tarrytown." Both men grew up afraid and lonely. Goodhart was raised in a lower class family. His father drank alcohol and his mother was "very tense, afraid, and worried." Tarrytown was raised in a wealthy family. But his father also drank alcohol. His mother was so depressed that Tarrytown was afraid she would kill herself. Goodhart went on to become a leader on human rights issues. Goodhart was in the top fifth of the Grant Study in mental health. However, Tarrytown was in the bottom fifth. He was divorced three times. He drank alcohol and took drugs to deal with his pain. At age fifty-three [53], Tarrytown killed himself. Goodhart lived to seventy."Voice 1What was the difference between these two men? Why did one grow into a happy adult who improved the lives of other people, while the other destroyed himself?Voice 2The Grant Study was not able to answer these questions. However it did notice that some qualities were common among people who said they were happy. These qualities are: being able to deal with trouble in a positive way, education, having a strong marriage, not smoking, not drinking too much alcohol, taking some exercise, and keeping a healthy weight. It is important to be able to satisfy your basic needs. However, more money, power, or material goods do not add much at all to a person's happiness.Voice 1Interestingly, there are actually two kinds of happiness. The first is the kind we talked about at the beginning of the program: getting what you want. This is called, "natural happiness." The other kind of happiness is called, "synthetic happiness." Synthetic is another word for made-by-humans. However, just because synthetic happiness is something we make ourselves it does not mean it is not a real kind of happiness.Voice 2Synthetic happiness is what we "make" when we do not get what we want. For example, imagine you do not get the job you want. Over time you begin to believe that you are better off not getting that job. You are in fact happier because you did not get that job. Are you lying to yourself? No. This is just a healthy way to deal with life. It is how adults manage the fact that much of life is out of our control. This happiness may seem like a lie, but the happiness is real. It is lasting. This shows that happiness is not easy to measure outside of a person's head!Voice 1In the end, it turns out that happiness depends less on our situation than we think. There are some things that we should choose over others. For example, we should prefer to make more money than to get sick. But we should be careful not to believe that a change in our situation will have a big effect on our level of happiness. In fact, putting too much hope in such a change will probably lead to disappointment and unhappiness.Voice 2There is one area of life that does affect our happiness: love and relationships. People are not meant to be alone. People are designed to be with other people. It is the same for all of us - no matter what age, sex, or country of origin. Even people who enjoy time alone need to spend some time with other people.Voice 1This is not a new idea. The Bible claims that God designed people to live together. If we were created to live with other people, then it makes sense that our happiness comes from other people. It also makes sense that cars, money, or being famous do not make us happy. So, if you want to live a happy life, make sure you put your time and energy into the people you care about. image: lazare

Insieme a Nicola Flores, psicologo, abbiamo parlato di psicologia positiva. Abbiamo imparato cos'è il Flow positivo, uno stato di coscienza in cui ci si dimentica di cosa ci succede intorno. Sono stati toccati diversi studi - come il Grant Study - che hanno cercato di capire cosa porti benessere nella vita. Abbiamo anche capito che rapporto c'è fra soldi e felicità. In conclusione, due parole su Camihawke, che ha criticato il nostro gioco preferito: la Coppa Condanna! (Clicca PLAY)

When looking at the Grant Study, one of the longest multigenerational studies done, a few facts stand out immediately. That's the basis of this podcast, along with about 5 other studies along the same lines to back it up. What is of particular importance is how glaring problems with alcohol are. In conjunction with smoking are the biggest causes of premature illness and death. Many people try to quite smoking and replace it with overeating. Its just swapping one addiction with another. People don't actually gain weight when they stop smoking, they substitute. If your lifelong quest is happiness, take a listen. Hope you enjoy this podcast. This podcast was recorded as a series of lectures given to people in 12 step addiction recovery treatment. The purpose of these talks was to teach and motivate individuals to search for their own spiritual solution to their addiction.

Robert Waldinger, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Director of its Grant Study, joined the Harvard Club of Boston on May 30th to speak on “What Science Can Teach Us About the Good Life: Lessons from the 80-Year-Long Harvard Study of Adult Development.” The Grant Study has been examining the lives of two groups of men using a variety of measures, and Dr. Waldinger is now introducing new neuroscience ones to better understand how life experience and neurobiology interact to foster healthy aging. An outstanding thinker and communicator, Professor Waldinger’s 2014 TED talk on the Study has garnered over 20,140,000 views. Dr. Waldinger received his B.A. from Harvard College and his M.D. from Harvard Medical School. A practicing psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, he teaches HMS students and psychiatry residents. He also serves as Director of Massachusetts General Hospital’s Center for Psychodynamic Therapy and Research and on the faculty of the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute. He is the author of numerous scientific papers as well as two books: Psychiatry for Medical Students (American Psychiatric Press, 1984, 1991, 1997), and Effective Psychotherapy with Borderline Patients: Case Studies (Macmillan, 1987).

I just got back from a family vacation that was equally a good life experience and sad at the same time as we were dealing with a death in the family. When an experience like this happens, you really get to thinking about life, happiness and death — it really puts everything into perspective. So, I began researching this concept of happiness — how can you become happy, or, ‘Why aren’t you happy?’   Recommended reading: Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose, by Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh   The four answers people typically give when you ask what their goals pertain to are: building a company, getting a great job, finding a significant other, and being healthy. But why? Why do you want a great job? To make money. Why do you want to make money? Because you believe that will make you happier. Whatever your high-level goal is — whether it’s health, income, spouse, or career — your low-level goal, if you just ask yourself, “Why do I want that?” comes down to this idea that you want to be super happy. So my challenge to you this year is: Make your one — and only — resolution to be as happy as possible.   How Income Impacts Happiness There’s a really good study by Princeton, and what they found was that about $75,000/year is the sweet spot when it comes to financial gain equating to increased happiness. So if you’re making $20,000 a year and you can double it to $40k or increase it to $60k, there’s a tangible increase in your day-to-day mood. But, there’s not much of an increase in happiness beyond that amount of income. Another thing they broke down in that study is that there are two types of happiness. One is your day-to-day mood, and the other is a deeper satisfaction that your life is going the right way. What they found is that even if you hit the magical $75k/year it improves that deeper life satisfaction — but, you don’t wake up in a more jovial mood. So it’s important to understand that if you’re not happy right now, it probably goes a lot deeper than your income.   Overall Happiness Coming from Strong, Interpersonal Relationships This brings me to the second study I took a look at from Harvard. They tracked the same group of men for 80 years. Basically, from 1938, they’ve been meeting with the same group of men every two years. Half of the people that they met with were from the inner-city, with very low income and not many socio-economic advantages, and the other half were Harvard students. So, every two years they would ask this group about their physical and emotional health, employment, family, and friends. What they ended up finding was that it wasn’t money or status that determined a good life. The people that were the happiest and the healthiest stated that it was strong, interpersonal relationships that made them feel better. The people that were isolated were the ones that declined in mental and physical health. So a deep set of personal relationships is actually what led to happiness — and everybody could have that right now. The ability to have great relationships is already there for you!   Here’s a link to the full study: Grant Study of Adult Development, 1938-2000   George E. Vaillant was asked, “Ultimately, over 80 years, what did you learn from this study?” And he said, “The only thing that really matters in life are your relationships to other people.” So I want you guys to think about that — relationships with other people equate to happiness.   There’s a great Ted Talk with 18 million views about this study as well: What makes a good life? Lessons from the longest study on happiness   A Few Other Notes on Happiness I’m sure some of you have some friends on social media where they really want you to think they’re happy. This happens a lot with couples. There’s a great article on Inc. about how the happiest couples rarely post online. It’s a great read — It’s ‘8 Reasons Why Happy Couples Rarely Share Their Relationship Statuses on Social Media.’ Sometimes the more you share, the less you actually care. The last thing I’d like to talk about is: How does all of this impact your work life? And what are some of the action items you can take with you to make 2018 your happiest year ever? I was reading a blog post from Neil Patel, and one of the stats from it was that people that have a best friend at work are 7X more likely to be fully engaged. I really, truly believe that the more effort you put into deep and meaningful relationships with your coworkers, the more you’ll enjoy your job — and there’s a lot of data behind this: 54% of employers feel that strong work relationships improve culture, 36% of people that have a friend of work say that they enjoy going to work and feel more valued and productive, and close work friendships boost employee satisfaction by almost 50%. Think about your happiness as you tackle your goals for 2018.

The Grant Study undersökte unga Harvardstudenter på 1940talet och fortsätter fortfarande än idag med att undersöka de som är vid liv. Vad har man hittat efter att ha följt dessa människor under så lång tid? Blandannat;  *Vad skapar lycka? *Vad skapar Finansiell framgång? *Hur påverkar ens intima relationer hur man njuter av en semster i framtiden? 

Peter and Paul open with a discussion of The Grant Study, which highlights the deep need all men have for friendship and connection. Given finite time and attention, tradeoffs are inevitable. Who gets the biggest slice: work, friends, family or wife? Discussing the difficulty of making new friends after 30, Paul makes the distinction between true friendship and “company” and identifies the compromises which lead to “forced friendship.” Is it true that social reach decreases as a person ages, and is this inevitable? The men tackle the issue. At halftime, Paul asks the question, “Can someone truly disappear in today’s society?” Ubiquitous CCTV, social media and surveillance technology, such as Google Earth, seem to make the prospect unlikely.

Do you “Burn Your Boats” as Aethilla did after the Trojan War, or do you hedge, keeping a handy Plan B in your back pocket? Peter and Paul discuss a life strategy of putting all your eggs in one basket. Responding to a listener’s comment, Peter and Paul discuss the “glass wall” men face in modern-day dating. In the olden days, a solid man was appreciated on his merit; today, it takes more to get a girl’s attention. Paul brings up The Big Chill and asks how intimacy can be maintained at a distance. This leads to the men advocating one-on-one discussions, which drive intimacy. We end on The Grant Study, a longitudinal study conceived in the late 1930’s, which tracked 268 Harvard men throughout their lives. A key finding was that relationships were all that mattered in the end, throwing into question our desperate striving for riches and recognition. Paul signs off with his thoughts on London versus New York City, in response to another listener enquiry.
