If you were going to invest now in your future best self, where would you put your time and your energy?
All the way into old age.
For 75 years, weve tracked the lives of 724 men. We draw their blood, we scanned their brains.
What are the lessons that come from the tens of thousands of pages of information that we’ve generated on these lives?
The clearest message that we get from these 75 years study is this: good relationships keep us happier and health.
People who are more isolated find that they are less happy, their health declines earlier in midlife, their brain functioning declines sooner, and they live shorter lives.
…To friends, to community, are happier, they’re physically healthier and they live longer than people who are less well connected.
