In this episode of WTF, Kyle and Candace discuss recently released results from the longest in-depth longitudinal study on human development and happiness ever done. The Harvard Adult Development Study has been running for nearly 85 years and concludes that cultivating and nurturing sound relationships is the single most important thing we can do to achieve lives filled with health and happiness. We explore the lessons learned from the study, the effects of loneliness on our health and longevity and discuss how to create and nurture relationships with meaning and depth.
