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.

This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxBeaconStreet, an independent event. TED’s editors chose to feature it for you.

Your Life is a Sacred Journey

And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation,

continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your   soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking

courageous risks, embracing challenges every step of the way . . .

                        You are on the Path

                 exactly where you are meant to be right now . . .

     and from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story

           into a magnificent tale of triumph, of  healing, of courage,

                  beauty, wisdom, power, dignity and Love . . .
