About this episode

What are the essential ingredients for achieving a happy and healthy life?

It’s common to get caught up in the daily hustle and bustle. But to live a Limitless life, it’s important to invest your time and resources into making sure that you aren’t simply surviving—but thriving.

I’m very excited to have Dr. Robert Waldinger on our show today to talk more about this very important topic. Dr. Waldinger is a psychiatrist, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and directs the longest study on adult life ever conducted. He’s also co-author of the brand-new book, The Good Life: Lesson From the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness.

There’s a misconception that fame, money, or success will lead to happiness. But what keeps you happy and healthy as you proceed through your life? Listen in, as Dr. Waldinger reveals the surprising lessons he’s learned studying happiness over the course of his career.
