Today, I'm talking to Marc Schulz, PhD. In addition to being a practicing therapist, Dr. Schulz is the Associate Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, Director of the Data Science program at Bryn Mawr, and former chair of that school's psychology and clinical development psychology PhD programs.
In this conversation, we dig into his book that he co-authored, The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness. I've been following this study for most of my career, we've referenced it several times on the podcast and I'm thrilled to get a chance to talk to him about it.
In today's deep dive into the study of happiness, we get into what he's learned in the twenty years he's been involved in this program, how he defines the "good life" and what it truly means to be happy, and why we need relationships of all kinds to thrive in our modern world and enjoy a "good life."
