TED Talks on Happiness & Healing

What makes a good life? Lessons from the longest study on happinessWhat keeps us happy and healthy as we go through life? If you think it's fame and money, you're not alone – but, according to psychiatrist Robert Waldinger, you're mistaken. As the director of a 75-year-old study on adult development, Waldinger has unprecedented access to data on true happiness and satisfaction. In this talk, he shares three important lessons learned from the study as well as some practical, old-as-the-hills wisdom on how to build a fulfilling, long life.

Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.
Social connections are really good for us and loneliness kills.
Not the number of friends but the quality of close relationships that matters.
Good relationships protect our brains.
