Arthur Brooks’ book Strength to Strength shares the things in life we can control to help us have a Happy-Well life comes from an 84 year long research project from the Harvard Medical School. It continues today even and has been covered in a couple TED Talks.
The 7 factors to have a Happy-Well life that we can control are smoking, drinking, healthy body weight, exercise, adaptive coping style, education and long-term relationships.
Boiling it all down, he says happiness is love and the importance of finding ways that don’t push love away.
