About this listen
But what if the data proves that formula is completely wrong? 📉
In this episode, we deep dive into the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest-running study on human happiness in history. For 85 years, researchers tracked the lives of hundreds of men to find the scientific truth about what actually keeps us healthy and happy. The results? It’s not your cholesterol level, and it’s definitely not your bank account balance.
In this episode, we reveal the science of the good life:
- 🧪 The 85-Year Experiment: How Harvard tracked everyone from factory workers to President JFK to unlock the secrets of longevity.
- ❤️ The "Social Fitness" Cure: Why Social Relationships are a more accurate predictor of your physical health than your genetics.
- ☠️ The Loneliness Epidemic: We discuss the terrifying data showing how social isolation kills you faster than smoking or obesity.
- 🧠 Brain Protection: How having someone to call in the middle of the night actually preserves your memory and cognitive function.
- 💰 Money vs. Connection: Why chasing fame and wealth is a fool's game, and why "Warmth of Relationships" is the only currency that matters.
If you are rethinking your priorities for 2026, this is the wake-up call you need. We explain why investing in your friends is the best health insurance policy you can buy.
Hit play to learn how to build a life that actually feels good.
