Harvard psychiatrist Robert Waldinger, who leads the world’s longest running study of happiness, shares with alisonflood what he's learned about how to live a meaningful life
Robert Waldinger, director of the world’s longest running study of happiness, has learned the secret to well-beingWHEN talking with Robert Waldinger, it is difficult to ignore the fact that he seems extremely content. A side effect of his job, perhaps. As the director of the longest scientific study of happiness ever conducted, it would be rather disappointing if he was anything else.
The Harvard Study of Adult Development began in 1938, with 724 participants: 268 undergraduate students at Harvard College and 456 14-year-old boys who had grown up in some of the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Boston, Massachusetts. All were interviewed and given medical exams on joining the study. Throughout their lives, participants had regular brain scans and blood tests and took part in further interviews, as researchers set out to find answers to what makes a happy and meaningful life.
More than eight decades later, HSAD has expanded to include three generations and more than 1300 direct descendants of the original participants.
