Synopsis

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Discover the science of happiness and how meaningful relationships hold the key to a longer, healthier and more fulfilling life, in the must-read bestseller.

‘This captivating, powerful book shows us scientifically and practically how to define, create and most importantly live the good life’ Jay Shetty, bestselling author of Think Like a Monk

What if the secret to lasting happiness has been hiding in plain sight?

Based on the world’s longest scientific study of happiness, the Harvard Study of Adult Development, this landmark book reveals the simple yet surprising truth:?the stronger our relationships, the more likely we are to live happy, satisfying and overall healthier lives.

Drawing on over 80 years of research and hundreds of life stories, programme directors Dr Robert Waldinger and Dr Marc Schulz bring together scientific precision, traditional wisdom, incredible real-life stories and actionable insights to show us how and why prioritising meaningful connection - not financial success or achievement - is the key to a good life.

Accessible, inspiring and deeply practical, The Good Life is the accessible and practical guide on how to nurture relationships, build emotional resilience and find lasting happiness.
