EP 144: Harvard Study: Human Thriving | Dr. Robert Waldinger

In this Radical Responsibility podcast I talk to Dr. Robert Waldinger, Harvard Medical School Professor, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and Zen priest. He is well known for being instrumental in one of the longest-running studies of adult life ever done. Today we chat about the ingredients of human thriving, including how we can nurture our relationships to live longer and more fulfilling lives.

We also discuss:

-The research on how the quality of our relationships makes a difference in our longevity
-How working out our differences can help us form stronger connections
-Why our relationships need tending to maintain their strength and fitness
-The importance of identifying which aspects of our lives energize us and which don't
-Building new relationships at each stage of our lives to ensure lifelong wellness
