ROBERT WALDINGER
Description
Dr. Robert Waldinger, director of the world’s longest-running study on human happiness, joins us to reveal the key factors that lead to a fulfilling and meaningful life. In this episode, we explore the findings from his groundbreaking 85-year Harvard Study of Adult Development, including how relationships, purpose, and self-care play a vital role in well-being.
Dr. Waldinger shares personal stories about his own journey, his fascination with psychiatry, and how he applies the study's principles in his life. We discuss surprising insights about what truly matters for happiness and why money and status might not be as important as we think.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that could change the way you think about happiness, connection, and living a life of purpose.
Each week, Tim and Troy will sit down with interesting people to have thoughtful conversations. The guests will range from celebrities, athletes, academics, doctors, authors, and more. As Tim battles his ALS diagnosis, nothing is out of bounds and there will be nothing left unsaid.
