What makes good life?



Hi Happiness Warriors.

Happy Monday to you! I have an incredible video for you today. This Ted talk by Robert Waldinger, talks about a 75 year study on happiness! That's a lot longer than the happiness revolution has been running here on blogspot. After following a group of boys (now men) for the last 75 years they came to some incredible conclusions:

Here are a taster of some of the results of the study, but you should watch the video, it's very insightful.


  • Social connections are very important to happiness.
  • Community is key. 
  • Loneliness/isolation are toxic (you can be lonely in a crowd or lonely in a marriage) 
  • It's the quality of close relationships that matters. 
  • Good relationships keep our brains smarter longer. 

So warriors, look after each-other, build great relationships and prioritize community!
