I would say it's
Hi, I'm Bob Waldinger and I'm in great company.
Dr. Robert Waldinger.
Director of the world's longest running study of happiness.
I'm the fourth director of the longest study of human life that's ever been done.
It started in the year 1938 with 724 teenagers.
Now in our 87th year, we want to know what helps people thrive.
What are the predictors of who's going to be happy and healthy as they go through their lives?

What did the results show in the end?

Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
We studied these people their whole lives.
