Podcast appearances and mentions of marc schulz

In stressful times, what if the key to mental and emotional well-being was not a mystery, but a set of daily, accessible practices that you could start today? In this special compilation episode we've curated guidance from some of the world's leading voices in the science of wellbeing—including Dacher Keltner, Kristin Neff, Robert Waldinger, Marc Schulz, Judith Moskowitz, Marisa Franco, Amishi Jha, and Oliver Burkeman—to explore how awe, self-compassion, relationships and mindfulness shape our lives and minds. You'll learn how experiences of awe can dramatically improve immune health and reduce anxiety; why self-compassion trumps self-esteem for lasting mental strength; how healthy relationships are not only the greatest predictor of happiness but even protect against physical illness; and how intentional mindfulness combats stress and boosts attention. Through science and lived experience, this episode offers a toolkit for building a more connected, reflective, and flourishing life of greater mental well-being. Show Notes Similar Episodes: Kristin Neff Curt Thompson Meghan Sullivan Heather Holleman Kelly Corrigan Transcript Want more NSE?

What up, Beasts? Welcome back to the show. Today I am hanging out with Karin Calde. Karin is a state-licensed psilocybin facilitator with a PhD in clinical psychology, bringing nearly 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples. In addition to facilitating psilocybin therapy, she is a relationship and self-development coach, specializing in helping women and couples in midlife who want to find love, break old relationship patterns, and create more joyful, fulfilling connections with one another and with themselves. She is trained in Internal Family Systems and is the host of the podcast, Love Is Us: Exploring Relationships and How We Connect. She also adores her cat and sings in an 80s cover band. In this episode, we dive into the intricate concepts of identity and self-discovery. Karin opens up about her journey from psychologist to coach, sharing insights into the ways our identities are often tied to roles that can shift over time. She emphasizes the importance of compassion, love, connection, and growth—values that have shaped her path as she now supports clients in understanding who they are beyond traditional roles. Particularly, she works with individuals facing transitions, like empty nesters who are redefining themselves after their primary roles as caregivers change. We also explore her current work with psilocybin, including how it complements her coaching approach. Licensed in Oregon as a psilocybin facilitator, she reveals how this powerful compound is used to help individuals connect with themselves, address unresolved trauma, and foster personal growth. Drawing parallels to Internal Family Systems (IFS), she discusses how psilocybin can help unlock "protective" layers, providing a path for deep healing. Whether it's with couples or individuals, her holistic approach to self-discovery and connection, with or without psychedelics, aims to help people align with their truest selves in a meaningful and transformative way. As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs on your heart-strings and/or I hope you laugh.

What makes us happy? This question generates wildly different answers. I asked four Nudge listeners and got four different answers. Being the behavioural science nerd I am, I've always wondered if there is a scientific answer to this question. Is there a study that reveals the secrets behind the good life? Yes, there is. It's the longest study on human happiness ever conducted. Today, I spoke to Marc Schulz, the associate director of that study, and he shared the results. What causes a happy life?

(NOTAS Y ENLACES DE LA ENTREVISTA AQUÍ: )No es habitual empezar una entrevista hablando de perfiles generalistas y terminarla con una obra tan excelsa como el Pollo Pepe. Y menos aún si por el camino hablamos del sistema educativo, de cómo nos transforma la paternidad y cómo nos ayuda a entender a nuestros padres, de futuros imperfectos y de estoicismo o de liderazgo.Pero es que esto es lo que me suele suceder a mí cuando me siento a charlar con el invitado del capítulo de hoy. Su currículum es prácticamente imposible de resumir, así que sólo diremos que Guillermo de Haro ha combinado su pasión académica con una exitosa carrera empresarial. Es doble doctorado, en economía e ingeniería, ha trabajado en empresas de software, de tecnología, de comercio minorista y hasta de la industria del entretenimiento y hoy es Vicedecano en la escuela de Ciencia y Tecnología de la IE University. Es autor de multitud de artículos y de varios libros, entre otros uno a medias con un viejo conocido de este podcast: Javier González Recuenco. Pero más allá de todo eso, Guillermo tiene una curiosidad insaciable que demuestra en cada una de sus respuestas. De hecho, confieso que me quedé con la sensación de que cada pregunta que hice habría dado para una entrevista en sí misma y que apenas arañamos la superficie de su conocimiento. Aún así, espero que nuestra charla sea una invitación a descubrirle y a aprender más de él. Y, si te gusta la entrevista dímelo, que siempre puedo intentar liar a Guillermo para repetir.  ¿Te gusta kaizen?

We really want to take care of our body like we're going to be in it for a long time. Let's shoot for 100 years. And what does that mean? That means that we want to move our body. Exercise is good for us. We want to avoid smoking. We want to moderate our drinking of alcohol. And we also want to, particularly as we age, to go to doctors and make sure that we're getting treatments that are important to maintain our health, because many of us develop different kinds of challenges as we get older, physical and medical challenges that are important to take care of. The study also has made important contributions to recognizing that stuff happens to all of us, that very few lives happen without adversity, and how we meet adversity, and particularly the feelings and emotions that adversity tends to engender, are really important for our health and our well -being. But the big finding, and this is the finding that we talk about most in our book, The Good Life, is that it's very clear across this 86 years of research, and hundreds of papers, that the most important predictor of health and happiness throughout the lifespan is the quality of our relationships with others. How connected we are, how much we can rely on other support, and how much we're able to do that are really key predictors of how happy we'll be and how healthy we will be. And it's all kinds of relationships. It's not just the person who you may have been lucky enough to spend a good portion of your time with. So it's not just our marital partners or our intimate partners, it's friends, neighbors, people we work with, people in our communities, it's all types of relationships that matter." On Social Fitness "So we talk about this idea of social fitness as being really important. Obviously, it's a metaphor like physical fitness and some of the lessons about physical fitness apply here. We want to, first of all, assess where we are, and to be thoughtful about where we are. And this comes from our research when we interviewed people, for example, in their 80s and we asked if they had regrets. Most of the regrets that people had had to do with losses in relationships. People that they had been friendly with, that they lost touch with, people who maybe they hadn't been as kind to as they wish they had. And this could be the person that they were married to. It could be children. It could be people they worked with. But people talked about remorse and regret around not building and sustaining relationships over life.

We took another dive into the large pile of books…and came up with The Good Life by Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz. This book covers one of the worlds most amazing longitudinal studies of peoples' lives, and what we have learned. It's powerful stuff and of course, full of amazing wisdom that we can bring to our lives.

I've been following this study for most of my career, we've referenced it several times on the podcast and I'm thrilled to get a chance to talk to him about it.  In today's deep dive into the study of happiness, we get into what he's learned in the twenty years he's been involved in this program, how he defines the “good life” and what it truly means to be happy, and why we need relationships of all kinds to thrive in our modern world and enjoy a “good life.”  GET A FREE ACCESS TO MARC'S BOOK TITLED, THE GOOD LIFE: LESSONS FROM THE WORLD'S LONGEST SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF HAPPINESS  Here's all you have to do...

Marc Schulz is the associate director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, an 85-year study of individuals and families. He is also the author of The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness. Marc earned an undergraduate degree from Amherst College and a Ph.D. from California Berkeley. In this episode we discuss the following: The Harvard Study of Adult Development has followed more than 2,000 people spanning more than 85 years. The one finding that stands out above all others: Relationships keep us happier and healthier through our lives.  Relationships help us navigate stress, overcome challenges, deal with emotions, figure out our path, and connect us with our past. Relationships are also where we experience our most joy, and they also predict our health and happiness. The risk of mortality associated with loneliness is about the same as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. One of the biggest problems with loneliness is that it's quite prevalent. In the United States, in a given week, 20-50% of adults report being lonely. Given that loneliness is as damaging to health as smoking 15 cigarettes/day, the surgeon general talks about this is a public health crisis. In the past, people had to get out of their house to see whether the Jones's where better off than them. But now we can socially compare ourselves from our phones. And most of us come out of those comparisons feeling worse about ourselves. By going more virtual and focusing on efficiency we miss out on informal connections, like talking to people in the hallway. Just as physical fitness is important predictor of health and happiness, so too is social fitness. By thinking about our social lives in terms of what's working, and then prioritizing our positive social relationships, we can improve our happiness. When people in their 80s discuss their regrets, most regrets are centered on relationships. For example, losing contact with friends, or not being as kind as they could have been to the people they loved. Social fitness is all about making time for our friends and loved ones. Eating lunch with them, going on walks with them, or calling them. As the key finding from the 85-year Harvard Study of Adult Development shows, relationships keep us happier and healthier through our lives.   Follow Marc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-schulz-20663222a/ Website: https://www.brynmawr.edu/inside/people/marc-schulz The Good Life Book: https://amzn.to/41ShAe3 Follow Me: X: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/ Website: https://natemeikle.com

What makes us happy? Researchers at Harvard have been trying to answer that question for 85 years. Now, they think they've found the answer. Marc Schulz, associate director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, joins to tell us more.

The Big Brains team is taking some time off during the holidays but for all those travelers out there heading home, we wanted to make sure you still had your favorite podcast in your feed. So, we're resharing one of our most popular episodes ever. It's about the science of happiness.What is the key to living a happy and fulfilling life? The answer is actually quite simple, according to the two scholars behind the longest scientific study of happiness every conducted.Beginning in 1938, the Harvard Study of Adult Development tracked three generations of families to uncover what contributed to their happiness. In their new book, The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness, Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz tell the stories behind their participants' lives and provide key insights on the recipe to happiness. Marc Schulz, a professor at Bryn Mawr College, joins the podcast to discuss the book and their study.

Today's episode is a life-affirming compilation on the theme of community and connection. I chose it because it's a subject that comes up in one way or another in almost every podcast conversation I have. Researchers, thinkers, and experts alike are concluding that one of the most significant contributing factors to our mental, physical and emotional health is our interactions with other human beings.Our ancestors evolved as a collective – ancient humans thrived in tribes. From keeping safe at night to hunting for and sharing food, coming together as a community was essential for our survival. And it's easy to forget we're not that different today. Sure, the world has transformed. Travel and technology mean families often live far apart, and younger generations are more likely to communicate through screens than face to face. We can survive without community, but can we really thrive?Science has shown how loneliness affects more than mood, leaving a lasting imprint on our mental and physical health. Reaching out to others then, is one of the best things we can do to protect and improve our holistic health. And I don't just mean asking for help. By giving to others, volunteering your time or lending an ear, your own wellbeing is boosted alongside the recipients'. Feeling part of a community is as much about making a contribution as being welcomed.Of course, it can be easier said than done. Maybe you don't have family nearby, you work alone, or you find it hard to make friends. This podcast is here to help. I guarantee that by the end you'll feel compelled to embrace community, convinced of the reasons it matters, and inspired by all the simple, actionable ideas this wonderful selection of guests share.You'll hear voices including Dr Gabor Maté, Johann Hari, Dr Tommy Wood and Professors Laurie Santos, Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz. Together we cover the reasons connection is key, the health benefits it affords, and how to find your community. We hear from Dr Pippa Grange, Dr Dacher Keltner, Kelly McGonigal, The Happy Pear, and many more on how to cultivate friendships and intimacy, and why it's kindness that counts.My team and I really enjoyed compiling this episode for you and it's served as a reminder to all of us, too, to prioritise the people in our lives a little bit more. Even if that's something you already do, is there someone you could reach out to who might be struggling to do the same? Each clip in this podcast comes from a full-length episode, so if there are voices that particularly resonate with you, check the show notes for links to listen to their episodes in full. Together, these clips are a celebration of the power of community and friendships old and new – I hope this episode helps you to find yours.Find out more about my NEW Journal here https://drchatterjee.com/journalThanks to our sponsors:https://boncharge.com/livemorehttps://exhalecoffee.com/livemorehttps://drinkag1.com/livemoreShow notes https://drchatterjee.com/410DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

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.

In this episode of GRUFFtalk: How to Age Better podcast, host Barbara Hannah Grufferman delves into the profound connection between happiness, health, and interpersonal relationships. Drawing from insights in "The Good Life: Lessons From the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness," authored by Dr. Robert Waldinger and Dr. Marc Schulz, this discussion reveals compelling findings from the 85-year-old Harvard Study of Adult Development.  Listeners will explore the undeniable impact of nurturing relationships on our overall well-being, transcending common misconceptions of happiness linked to professional success or material wealth. The episode brings to light the paradox of our digital age: an era of perceived connectivity where loneliness prevails as a global health concern. The statistics are startling, with discussions highlighting how loneliness can be more hazardous than obesity, especially among older adults, and its staggering societal costs.  The conversation doesn't stop at outlining problems; it propels listeners towards tangible solutions. The concept of 'social fitness' is introduced, encouraging listeners to evaluate and invest in their social connections actively. From picking up the phone to forgiving past grievances, simple yet profound actions are discussed that individuals can take to reinforce their social bonds.  As Barbara aptly reminds her audience, especially those over 50, it's never too late to revitalize connections, seek new friendships, and sever ties that drain emotional energy. This episode isn't just about understanding the importance of relationships; it's a call to action to prioritize them actively.  Tune in to uncover why the pursuit of happiness is intricately tied to the relationships we nurture, and why building your 'social fitness' might just be the key to a longer, healthier, and happier life.    KEY LINKS:   The Book: “The Good Life: Life-Changing Lessons from the World's Longest Study of Happiness”: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Life-Lessons-Scientific-Happiness/dp/198216669X  The Study: The Harvard Study on Adult Development: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-secret-to-happiness-heres-some-advice-from-the-longest-running-study-on-happiness-2017100512543  GRUFFtalk Episode About How to Get Unstuck and Find Happiness: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/grufftalk-how-to-age-better-with-barbara-hannah-grufferman/id1623436268?i=1000594895568  Connect with Barbara:  Website: https://www.barbarahannahgrufferman.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BarbaraHannahGruffermanAuthor  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/barbarahannahgrufferman/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbara-hannah-grufferman/  Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr Robert Waldinger has been studying human happiness and the secret to it for decades. He is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and Director of the the Harvard Study of Adult Development. That study first began in 1938 with 228 Harvard students with researchers collecting data on their medical and mental health. In the 1970s, another 450 inner-city residents joined the study. It is the world's longest-running research into happiness and suggests friendship and connections help us to live longer and be happier. Dr Robert Waldinger has co-authored a book The Good Life and How to Live It with Marc Schulz and has presented a TED Talk which has over 24 million views.

This is our unabridged episode with Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz. For all our modern so-called progress, global happiness levels have been consistently going down, especially in the richest and most developed countries. So what does it really take to be happy? Since 1938, Harvard scientists have been closely studying the lives of over 700 individuals to answer that very question. In this episode, two of the scientists who are now in charge of the study - Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz - discuss the results of what is known as the “world's longest study on happiness,” and describe why they believe that meaningful relationships are the key to living a long, happy, flourishing life.

Since the 1970s, the General Social Survey has asked thousands of Americans the same question: “Taken all together, how would you say things are these days—would you say that you are very happy, pretty happy, or not too happy?” In the past few decades, our well-being seemed to take a nosedive. According to researchers, the decline of marriage seems to be the single most important explanation. Why is marriage the best predictor of happiness in America? Does marriage turn unhappy people into happy people? Are happier people just more likely to get married? Or is something more complicated happening? We welcome back Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz, the director and associate director of Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest-running study of adult happiness ever conducted and the authors of the book 'The Good Life,' to discuss.

Psychiatry professor Robert Waldinger and clinical psychologist Dr. Marc Schulz join Stephen to explore the findings found in their new book “The Good Life: Lessons From the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness.”

Dr. Marc Schulz is the author New York Times bestseller The Good Life and associate director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest scientific study of happiness ever conducted. Since 1938, this study has tracked three generations of families to uncover what contributed to their happiness surrounding relationships, money, success and what really leads to a happy life. The simple but surprising answer is: relationships. The stronger our relationships, the more likely we are to live happy, satisfying, and overall healthier lives. Today, Marc helps us understand how relationships in all their forms—friendships, romantic partnerships, families, coworkers, tennis partners, book club members, Bible study groups—all contribute to a happier, healthier life. My friends, in a world faced with unprecedented levels of unhappiness and loneliness, Marc empowers us through actionable guidance that it's never too late to strengthen the relationships you have, and never too late to build new ones.

By the end of today's episode, I'm pretty sure you'll feel inspired to reconnect with an old friend, phone that family member you don't see enough, or make plans for a face-to-face get-together. You'll feel happier, and even be healthier if you do, because the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.My guests, Professors Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz are co-authors of The Good Life: Lessons From The World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness. They are the directors of the Harvard Study of Adult Development which is an extraordinary research project that started back in 1938 and is now in its 85th year.Robert is Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He is also a Zen priest and meditation teacher. Marc is Professor of Psychology and Director of Data Science at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania and is also a practicing therapist.They are both passionate about spreading the crucial message that high-quality relationships are one of the biggest predictors of happiness, health and longevity and, therefore, prioritising how and with whom you spend your time may just be one of the most important things you can do for your mental and physical health.We discuss why loneliness increases our risk of death in comparable ways to smoking or obesity and what this 85-year-old study can teach all of us about how to have a meaningful and satisfying life. The study followed the same participants and their families, taking biological measurements and asking detailed questions. Its goal has always been to understand contentment and what it really means to live a good life.We talk about different types of relationships and how toxic friendships and partnerships can be damaging. We also discuss why frequency and quality both matter when it comes to our relationships, the importance for all of us to have one or two ‘securely attached' relationships and we discuss the fact that vibrant social lives and close relationships, don't come easily to everyone.Robert and Marc share some fantastic insights on what people can do if they are struggling, the importance of listening and being ‘radically curious' and how we can nurture better relationships with ourselves.This really was an uplifting and inspiring conversation with two wonderful human beings.

Marc breaks down some key takeaways and lessons from the Harvard Study of Adult Development, highlighting the connection between health, intention, and well-functioning relationships. Can a high quality of life be passed down to our children through epigenetics?  Mutual vulnerability is a source of strength. “If you tune into people when they're challenged, when they're experiencing those negative emotions, you're going to learn something that's pretty important to them,” Marc says. This is a plead to you to lean into your loved ones when they're going through difficult emotions.

We will learn: How we can master challenges through mindfulness. Why it's important to be radically curious about the world. The top findings for defining and creating happiness for yourself. We all just want to be happy right? But what actually contributes to happiness? Do external circumstances ever matter? Or is it always something we cultivate from within? Can external circumstances help us to cultivate it from within? Thankfully, there has been an ongoing study around this topic for the last 80 years. Harvard's Study of Adult Development is widely recognized as the world's longest study on happiness and has provided a ton of information about what factors contribute to a fulfilling and happy life. So today we're talking about what was learned from Harvard's longest study on happiness and how to apply it to our lives. Our guest is Marc Schulz. He is the associate director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development. He also directs the Data Science Program and previously chaired the psychology department and Clinical Developmental Psychology PhD program at Bryn Mawr. And He is a practicing therapist with postdoctoral training in health and clinical psychology at Harvard Medical School. He is also the co-author of the book “The Good Life: Lessons From the World's Longest Scientific Study on Happiness”.

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12    https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Dr. Marc Schulz is the Associate Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development and an award-winning professor at Bryn Mawr College, where he directs the Data Science Program and is the Sue Kardas Ph.D. 1971 Chair in Psychology. He completed his BA at Amherst College and his Ph.D. at the University of California at Berkeley. He is the author of The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness.  Notes: "Relationships are at the core of human flourishing." Friendships - Map out your social universe. Are the connections uplifting or depleting? Ask, “what do I value about the person?” Be intentional about your relationships and how you invest in them. The quality of the relationship you have with your partner will determine how long you will live. As we get older, we tend to get happier. We accumulate emotional wisdom. We should focus more on relationships that give us emotional sustenance. This work is built on a bedrock of scientific research. At its heart, the Harvard Study of Adult Development. An extraordinary scientific endeavor that began in 1938, is still going Bob is the 4th director of the study, and Marc is its associate director. “Generativity” – In psychology, expanding our concerns and efforts beyond our own lives is called generativity and it's a key to unlocking the vibrancy and excitement of midlife. When asked at the end of their lives, “What do you wish you'd done less of? And more of?” The study participants often referenced their middle years and regretted having spent so much time worrying and so little time acting in a way that made them feel alive. The story of John Marsden and Leo DeMarco… Leo lived a rich life because of the relationships he fostered with his wife, daughters, and close friends. John put all of his effort into becoming a lawyer, becoming well-known, and didn't focus on his relationships. They ended up on opposite ends of the spectrum when it came to happiness. Research has shown that people who have a close colleague at work are more engaged and productive than those who don't. Close to half of your waking moments are spent thinking about something other than what you are doing. Loneliness increases your risk of death as much as smoking or obesity. Evolutionary theories: Survival depends on us coming together as groups. We are social creatures. How to handle remote/hybrid working environments? There is a cost to not being together. There is a cost to working alone. Friendships need repeated exposure. Doing tasks together builds friendships. You can't do those well remotely. Strangers on a Train: What do you want to do while on a train? Listen to music or talk with the stranger sitting next to you? Most will say that they would rather put their headphones on, listen to music, or read a book. However, the research suggests that you'll be happier if you spoke with a stranger on the train. Life/Career advice: Think about the nitty gritty of a job. Talk to people doing the job. Spend extended time with them while they are doing the job. See what it's like.  

In 1938 the Harvard Study of Adult Development began. It followed the lives of 268 Harvard students and 456 inner city kids in Boston, and remains the largest, longest study of its kind, gathering data on physical health, mental health, personality, and social connections. The study's findings have served as the basis for an impressive body of work on lifestyle fulfillment and happiness, and my guest on this week's podcast has co-authored a book highlighting his learnings. Listen and learn: Why loneliness is one of the greatest risk factors for an unhappy and unhealthy life Why social fitness should be given the same priority as physical fitness How war, hardship and adversity can provide a sense of community that leads toward happiness and contentment Why 20 to 40 percent of the population admit to feeling isolated and lonely Creative strategies to build connections at any age  Links Marc's Site ABOUT OUR GUEST Marc Schulz, PhD, is Associate Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development.

Unlock the Secret to a Joyful Life: The Power of Strong Relationships with Marc Schulz We run towards the things we think will make us happy, only to reach our goals and realize that these goals aren't as fulfilling as we had anticipated. This is because none of us can accurately predict what will make us happy. WELCOME TO THE DARIN OLIEN SHOW Marc Schulz said that as he got older, he realized that the good life was really in front of us. But what makes a good life? Is it simply identifying our own happiness? Marc is a professor of psychology at Bryn Mawr College and the Associate Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development (HSAD), one of the longest longitudinal studies of human thriving ever conducted. HSAD has tracked the lives of 724 men and their families from puberty to the end of life since the 1930s. They have lately begun working with more than 1,300 of these initial participants' daughters and sons to better understand how early events affect midlife health and happiness. He is also the author of numerous publications and a co-editor of the book "The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness.” What makes a life fulfilling and meaningful? The simple but surprising answer is: relationships. We are more likely to lead joyful, fulfilling, and generally healthier lives if our connections are stronger. In fact, according to the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the quality of our relationships with others can predict how well our bodies and minds will function as we age. In this episode, Marc discusses his research and the lessons he has learned from the study of adult development. We also talked about the relationship between happiness and relationships. So I started to wonder: What else is there to know about the importance of relationships? And how much might that knowledge solve some of our most perplexing problems? All this and more, on this week's episode of  The Darin Olien Show.
