Meanwhile listen to the following Harvard University Ted Talk on why affiliation is important for retirement
What keeps us happy and healthy as we go through life? If you think it’s fame and money, you’re not alone – but, according to psychiatrist Robert Waldinger, you’re mistaken. As the director of a Harvard University 75-year-old study on adult development, Waldinger has unprecedented access to data on true happiness and satisfaction. In this talk, he shares three important lessons learned from the study as well as some practical, old-as-the-hills wisdom on how to build a fulfilling, long life. Not surprising what keeps us alive is not wealth and fame, but the health of our social connections.
