A New York Times Bestseller

What makes for a happy life, a fulfilling life? A good life? In their "captivating" (The Wall Street Journal) book, the directors of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest scientific study of happiness ever conducted, show that the answer to these questions may be closer than you realize.

What makes a life fulfilling and meaningful? The simple but surprising answer is: relationships. The stronger our relationships, the more likely we are to live happy, satisfying, and healthier lives. In fact, the Harvard Study of Adult Development reveals that the strength of our connections with others can predict the health of both our bodies and our brains as we go through life.

The invaluable insights in this book emerge from the revealing personal stories of hundreds of participants in the Harvard Study as they were followed year after year for their entire adult lives, and this wisdom was bolstered by research findings from many other studies. Relationships in all their forms--friendships, romantic partnerships, families, coworkers, tennis partners, book club members, Bible study groups--all contribute to a happier, healthier life. And as The Good Life shows us, it's never too late to strengthen the relationships you already have, and never too late to build new ones. The Good Life provides examples of how to do this.

Dr. Waldinger's TED Talk about the Harvard Study, "What Makes a Good Life," has been viewed more than 42 million times and is one of the ten most-watched TED talks ever. The Good Life has been praised by bestselling authors Jay Shetty "an empowering quest towards our greatest need: meaningful human connection"), Angela Duckworth ("In a crowded field of life advice...Schulz and Waldinger stand apart"), and happiness expert Laurie Santos ("Waldinger and Schulz are world experts on the counterintuitive things that make life meaningful").

With "insightful [and] interesting" (Daniel Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Stumbling on Happiness) life stories, The Good Life shows us how we can make our lives happier and more meaningful through our connections to others.

Be gentle when removing them from the book
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
My kids crazy about this book turning into toys. We are probably going to get the rest in the set. Gently push from the back when removing the pop out pieces to prevent the cardboard from tearing and separating from trying to dig them out. I don’t recommend the child put them together as a few were hard to push the pieces in and we bent a couple. Fine in the end but those aren’t going back into the book. They’ll just be room decor 😂

I Really Enjoyed This
Format: Paperback
I really enjoyed this book. The story is coordinated with Star Wars Vol. 8 Mutiny on Mon Cala and Star Wars Vol. 9 Hope Dies. It is not necessary, but to get a more rich, fuller story, you'll want to read this book first then switch over to those two Star Wars main series volumes. I'm giving this review 5 Stars, but I have to say that I wavered on docking it by one star. I'm not crazy about the art. And, although the story is excellent (and as much as I love a good Vader story), I didn't enjoy it as much as I did those two Star Wars volumes I mentioned above; Volumes 8 & 9, Mutiny at Mon Cala and Hope Dies. Those books are top notch excellent. This book, I'd say, is a notch down, at very, very good. Read it and see what you think. As a whole, I like how Marvel is filling out the years between the original trilogy movies with these stories. This story about the Battle of Mon Cala, over two different series, is fantastic.
