Learn from happiness expert Dr. Robert Waldinger

How do we define happiness? And how can it impact our social and physical health? Find out the answers from Dr. Robert Waldinger, Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest scientific study of happiness ever conducted, and author of New York Times bestseller The Good Life, which shares the findings of the study. Dr. Waldinger is also Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, a Zen priest, and a Center Affiliate Scientist.
This video is the first installment in a series of expert interviews designed to translate the science of health, happiness, and well-being to a broader audience.
