How To Live the Good Life - Lessons From The Longest Study On Happiness | Dr. Robert Waldinger

What if the most powerful thing you can do for your health isn’t diet or exercise — but investing in the people you love?

Dr. Robert Waldinger — psychiatrist, Harvard professor, and Director of the world’s longest-running study on happiness — sits down with Dr. Michael Gervais on Finding Mastery to reveal what eight decades of data show about the science of connection.

In this From The Vault episode, Dr. Waldinger explores how relationships literally shape our physiology, lower stress, and extend our lives — and why loneliness can be as dangerous as smoking. Together, they discuss the courage to be vulnerable, the myth of the self-made person, and how to cultivate social fitness in a disconnected world.

You’ll learn:
-How to build “social fitness” and maintain meaningful relationships over time
-Why relationships get into our bodies and improve long-term health
-The science behind loneliness, stress, and emotional regulation
-What it means to live a psychologically rich and purposeful life
-How leaders can foster connection and belonging at work
