Today, I am talking to Robert Waldinger, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, and co-founder of the Lifespan Research Foundation. Dr. Waldinger received his AB from Harvard College and his MD from Harvard Medical School. Dr. Waldinger is a practicing psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, and he directs a psychotherapy teaching program for Harvard psychiatry residents. He's also a zen master and teaches meditation in New England and around the world. And he is the co-author of the book, The Good Life: Lessons From the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness. Robert shares his expertise on adult happiness. We go back and forth with our thoughts on the effects of chronically stressful relationships on our physical body as well as our mental and emotional health, why we should stop minding what people think about us and instead start checking in with ourselves, and the pros and cons of engaging in personal development and being open to changes.      What We Discuss: 00:00:00 Intro 00:03:23 The pros and cons of remote conversations 00:05:16 This 75-Year Harvard Study 00:13:10 The three flavors of happiness 00:17:45 Turn to activities that are enlivening 00:20:18 We’re not trained to look inward 00:26:23 Take note of the things that are evolving  00:35:32 When you’re living with people that causes you stress  00:40:14 Active re-imagining of life from a different time 00:47:03 Chronically stressful relationships break down the body 00:53:30 Looking at the long view when dealing with relationships 01:01:00 Socio-emotional learning  01:02:57 How do we keep our relationships in shape? 01:06:02 Security of attachment for introverts and extroverts  Episode Resources Robert Waldinger | Website Robert Waldinger | Facebook Robert Waldinger | Twitter Robert Waldinger | LinkedIn Want to be a Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach?
