$$Healthy and happy as we go through life. If you were going to invest now in your future best self, where would you put your time and your energy? There was a recent survey of millennial asking them what their most important life goals were, and over eighty percent said that a major life goal for them was to get rich. And another fifty percent of those same Young adults said that another major life goal is to become famous. And we're consistently told to lean in, to work, to push harder and achieve more. We're given the impression that these are the things that we need to go after in order to have a good life. Pictures of entire lives, of the choices that people make and how those choices work out for them. Those pictures are almost impossible to get. Most of what we know about human life. We know from asking people to remember the past. And as we know, hindsight is anything but twenty, twenty. We forget vast amounts of what happens to us in life, and sometimes memory is downright creative. But what if we could watch entire lives as they unfold through time? What if we could study people from the time that they were teenagers all the way into old age to see what really keeps people happy and healthy? We did that. The harvard study of adult development may be the longest study of adult life that ever been . done for seventy five years. We've tracked the lives of seven hundred twenty four men year after year, asking about their work, their homes, lives, their health, and of course, asking all along the way without knowing how their life stories were gonna a turn out. Studies like this are exceedingly rare. Almost all projects of this kind fall apart within a decade because too many people drop out of the study, or funding for the research dries up, or the researchers get distracted where they die, and nobody moves the ball further down the field. But through a combination of luck and the persistence of several generations of researchers, this study has survived. About sixty of our original seven hundred twenty four men are still alive, still participating in the study, most of them in their nineties. And we are now beginning to study the more than two thousand children of these men. And i'm the fourth director of the study. Since one thousand and thirty eight, we've tracked the lives of two groups of men. The first group started in the study when they were soft more at harvard college. They all finished college during war, war two, and then most went off to serve in the war. And the second group that we've followed was a group of boys from boston, poorer neighborhoods, boys who were chosen for the study specifically because they were from some of the most troubled and disadvantaged families in the boston of the nineteen nineteen thirties. Most lived in tenements, many without hotton cold running water. When they entered the study, all of these teenagers were interviewed, they were given medical exams, we went to their homes and we interviewed their parents. And then these teenagers grew up into adults who entered all walks of life. They became factory workers and lawyers and bricklayers and doctors, one president of the united states. Some developed alcoholism, a few developed chizen hania. Some climbed the social letter from the bottom all the way to the very top, and some made that journey in the opposite direction. The founders of this study would never in their wild dest dreams have imagined that I would be standing here today, seventy five years later, telling you that the study still continues. Every two years, our patient and dedicated research staff calls up our men and ask them if we can send them yet one more set of questions about their lives. Many of the intercity boston men ask us, why do you keep wanting to study me? My life just isn't that interesting. The harvard man never asked that question. To get the clearest picture of these lives, we don't just send them questionnaires. We interview them in their living rooms. We get their medical records from their doctors. We draw their blood, we scan their brains. We talk to their children. We videotape them talking with their wives about their deepest concerns. And when, about a decade ago, we finally asked the wives if they would join us as members of the study, many of the women said, you know, it's about time. So what have we learned? What are the lessons that come from the tens of thousands of pages of information that we've generated on these lives? Well, the lessons aren't about wealth or fame or working harder and harder. The clearest message that we get from this seventy five years study is this good relationships keep us happier and healthier period. We've learned three big lessons about relationships. The first is that social connections are really good for us, and the loneliness kills. IT turns out that people who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to community are happier. They're physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected. And the experience of loneliness ss. Turns out to be toxic. People who are more isolated than they want to be from others find that they are less happy. Their health declines earlier in middle, their brain functioning declines sooner, and they live shorter lives than people who are not lonely. And the sad fact is that at any given time, more than one in five americans will report that they're lonely. And we know that you can be lonely in a crowd and you can be lonely in a marriage. So the second big lesson that we learned is that it's not just a number of friends you have and it's not whether or not you're in a committed relationship, but it's the quality of your close relationships that matters. IT turns out that living in the midst of conflict is really bad for our health. High conflict marriages, for example, without much affection, turn out to be very bad for our health, perhaps worse than getting divorced. And living in the midst of good, warm relationships is protective. Once we had followed our men all the way into their eighties, we want to look back at them at midlife and to see if we could predict who was gonna grow into a happy, healthy opterons an and who wasn't. And when we gathered together everything we knew about them at age fifty, IT wasn't their middle aged college ol levels that predicted how they were going to grow old. IT was how satisfied they were in their relationships. The people who were the most satisfied in their relationships at age fifty, where the healthiest . at jd . and good, close relationships seem to buffer us from some of the slings and arrows of getting old. Our most happily partnered men and women reported in their eighties that on the days when they had more physical pain, their moods stayed just as happy. But the people who were in unhappy relationships on the days when they reported more physical pain, IT was magnified by more emotional pain. And the third big lesson that we learn about relationships and our health is that good relationships don't just protect our bodies. They protect our brains. IT turns out that being in a securely attached relationship to another person in your eighties is protective, that the people who are in relationship, who they really feel they can count on the other person in times of need, those people's memories stay sharper, longer, and the people in relationships where they feel they really can't count on the other one, those are the people who experience earlier memory decline. And those good relationships, they don't have to be smooth all the time. Some of our octogenarian ples could biker with each other day in and day out. But as long as they felt that they could really count on the other when the going got tough, those arguments didn't take a toll on their memories. So this message, that good, close relationships are good for our health and well being. This is wisdom. That's as old as the hills. Why is this so hard to get and so . easy to ignore? Well, we're human. What we'd really like is a quick fix, something we can get that will make our lives good and keep in that way. Relationships are messy and they're complicated. And the hard work of tending to family and friends, it's not sexy or glamorous. It's also life long IT never ends. The people in our seventy five year study who were the happiest in retirement were the people who had actively work to replace workmate with new playmates. Just like the millennial in that recent survey, many of our men, when they were starting out as Young adults, really believed that fame and wealth and high achievement were what they needed to go after to have a good life. But over and over, over these seventy five years, our study has shown that the people who fared the best were the people who leaned into relationships with family, with friends, with community. So what about you? Let's say you're twenty five or your forty or your sixty, what might leaning into relationships even look like? Well. the possibilities are practically endless. IT might be something as simple as we're replacing screen time with people time or livening up a stale relationship by doing something new together, long walks or date nights, or reaching out to that family member who you haven't spoken to in years because those all too common family fused take a terrible toll on the people who hold the bridges. I'd like to close with a quote from mark twin. More than a century ago, he was looking back on his life, and he wrote this, there is a time, so grief, his life for bickerings, apologies, heart burnings, callings to account. There is only time for loving, and but an instance, so to speak, for that the good life is built with good relationships. Thank you.
Once upon a time, in a quaint little village, a wise then master was known throughout the land for his inside and wisdom. His reputation drew many people from near and far to seek his advice on all matters of life. On one particularly Sunny day, two travellers looking to move to a new town visited as then master. On separate occasions. They both asked the master the same question about how life would be in this new place. The first traveller, weary from his journey, approached the then master master. He said, I am contemplating moving to your beautiful village. Could you tell me what kind of people live here? In his infinite wisdom? The then master looked at him and replied, before I answer your question, tell me, friend, what were the people like in the town you came from? The traveller found they were terrible, that people were spiteful and cruel. They only care for themselves. IT was a dreadful place to live, the master said, i'm sorry to tell you this, but you'll find that people in this village are much the same. Maybe you would like to continue your search for a new home elsewhere. Looking disappointed, the first traveller thanked as then master for his honesty and resumed his journey. Later in the day, the second traveller visited the master and asked the same question. In response, the then master asked him about the people in his previous town. This man's face light up as he recalled, oh, they were the lovely quest of people. They were so kind, harder, generous and caring. They were one of the reasons IT was so hard for me to leave. The then master smiled and declared, you'll find that people in this village are very much the same. I'm certain you will feel right at home here. The second traveller thanked the end master in was delighted at the prospect of settling in a place that echoed the king ship of his previous.
