TED Talk Viewing - What makes a good life? Lessons from the longest study on happiness

What 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. (Source: TED.com)

But how can we apply these lessons in our own lives? What about our own issues? Experiences? How can we take the next step to this fulfilling, long life he mentions? Join us in a discussion of his talk, how it still or does not apply today, and what we can do now. 

This is the fourth TED Talk Viewing of the year, a new activity of TEDx Bath Club. We hold sessions every Tuesday and Friday in either CB 1.12 or CB 2.6 from 6:15 to 7:15 pm. If you have any TED Talks that you would like shown, please fill out this form.
