    This one study will change how you think about your entire life.
    Today, you’re getting the definitive answer to this powerful question:
    What makes a good life?
    There is nothing more important than this conversation. Because by the time you are done listening, your life won’t be the same.
    In this episode, you’re getting the research, the secrets, and some very surprising takeaways from an 86-year-long study at Harvard. The Harvard Study of Adult Development began in 1938 and is the longest study that has ever been done on happiness, relationships, and the human experience.
    Joining Mel today is the director of that study, Dr. Robert Waldinger, MD. Dr. Waldinger is a medical doctor, professor at Harvard Medical School, and a zen priest. He is here to share all of the groundbreaking research and, more importantly, give you the answers to what you need to do starting today in order to live a good life.
    You’ll learn the best life advice and lessons from 100-year-olds, the surprising question of whether you can predict if you’ll be healthy at age 80, the simple daily habit that leads to lasting happiness, and more-all backed by decades of research.
    This episode is a companion to Mel's brand new free training, Make It Happen.
    This training is designed to help you make your next 6 months extraordinary. It includes a 29 page workbook and 2 video trainings that use the latest research to help you get clear about what you want and create a plan to make it happen.
    And the cool part? It takes less than a minute for you to get started. Just sign up at http//www.melrobbins.com/makeithappen

    Finding faith and belief in God has provided me with the connection I longed for. The connections with people or the positive interactions with people are now the special things in my life but they no longer ground me. Faith is my foundation ❤

    A couple years ago I decided to bring back "old school" letter writing. I send a card to about 20-25 friends once a month. I get a pack of cards at the Dollar Store. I usually put a little something in the card, like an individual wrapped tea bag, and write a quick note inside the card. It does take a little bit of time and there is some cost to it, especially with stamps going from .68 to .73 in July 2024 but it's something I really enjoy doing and I do hear back from 1/2 my friends, telling me that it made their day.

    I don't know where it came from, but I've been acutely aware of how temporary life is since I was 4. Earliest memory was standing outside, thinking about how loved and safe I felt, and how carefree, and I thought - "I want to remember this feeling for the rest of my life". I've been savoring life since the beginning. It still takes effort - which is why I'm here, listening to this podcast. 😌

      When I was around 6 yo, I remember being sad about death, I remember this phase that maybe lasted 2 months where I would go and hide under the table and cry because I feel sad thinking that 1 day my mom and my dad will die. It was a weird time coz I was a normal playful kid but once in a while I would go under the table and hide and cry

    The coffee shop!! Yes! After a couple years walking past the same retired couple at the coffee shop every morning - grabbing my coffee on my way to work - said hello. Over time we had a group of 7-8 who would sit for 20-30 min before work. Complete strangers before. People often saying one day they’d join us. Pull up a chair now!! It was so fantastic!! Working from home changed that for me. I think I’ll drop in one morning this week and say hello. ❤

    My only continuous joy in life is my rescued dogs. I've been rescuing for decades. People disappoint me, dogs never do. Can't wait to hear what he has to say. 13:32 As I thought connections with people are the key. Won't happen for me, sadly. I am the second illegitimate child of a narcissistic mother who went on to marry and have 6 legitimate children. I was mommy's little helper and the scapegoat child. I brought my trauma into adulthood where I tried to be a good mother but I'm told I failed. Unable to be a grandmother to my grandchildren I moved to Panama with my narcissistic husband. I live and have always lived in fight or flight my entire life. Neither of us are able to make and keep friends. It's is no wonder I have had chronic fatigue monthly for 12 years. I'm 68 and continue to watch helpful TH-cam channels like yours. Thank you so much.

    Mel, you and I share so much of what you talk about with us in this podcast. The moment you teared up in the beginning, so full of emotion and heart, I immediately teared up as well. I felt that so deeply. Thank you for sharing your heart and your experiences. I want to share this episode with my daughter. The level of loneliness in the country, in my humble opinion, has reached epidemic proportions. As I've gotten older, I feel that longing to feel part of a group and to feel cared for. I'm like you in many ways, I break the silence and talk to people - yet - there is no 'best friend' or close friend in my life. I am blessed to have my husband and daughter but as human beings, we need to feel that sense of community and caring. I'll continue to support you because you're amazing. And as you say many times (and I cherish it), I LOVE YOU TOO!!! Have an amazing day! 😍❣❣❣

    Mel, if this comment ever finds its way to you, I want to inform you and your team that this is the very first podcast in all of podcasts that I've listened to that I would intentionally tackle like my readings of important books or journals. First I'd do a rough read, or in this case a rough listen, no note taking nor highlighting. Then go to a second read or listen, for a more immersive experience because I already have an idea which portion I'm gonna take notes and highlights. Lastly, a third read or listen just for the heck of the enjoyment. Thank you to your team who's worked on this episode, and to your invaluable guest, Dr. Waldinger!

    When I was young and raising a family I wanted everything. I didn’t get everything and our needs were met. As I have gotten older my family means more to me than things. Our trips and being together makes me so happy. There are people that have everything. Money, cars, big homes, don’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from and still are not happy.

    In stable, and I adore my babies, even though they're young adults now. I'm still tuber biggest cheerleader, and I respect them, as soon as they became of a certain maturity, even one of them at 10, I stop parenting, and I guide and coach them, and it works! They all know they can count on me, and I sideways tell them, I don't care what time it is, to call me, and if they need me to, I would drive anywhere to get them, and I even extended this to their friends. They know that if a friend is in trouble, I will get up in the middle of the night to go get them, and take them home. My kids are in college, they call me, they text, even they call at talk for a long time. They aren't perfect, but they are good, good human beings. I am very proud of them! ❤❤❤

    My best friend who was my mom recently passed away, I now have a hyperawareness of just how short life is now. Before she passed I began having heart palpitations so far it seems it's due to severe anxiety and of course had progressed after this sudden tragedy. I absolutely needed this at this very moment in my life to be more in the moment, I believe after watching your adhd episode it sounded too close to home for myself and I'm 41 so it's nice to understand myself better but I'm guilty of getting stuck in the future and the past vs. the present. I need to be more in the now moments, I have glimpses of noticing the squirrels outside my window while trying to do work, but immediately going in panic mode about the future as I'm trying really hard to be outside my comfort level to be an author in a small town with no networking. I am however grateful that I am with a man who is supporting my dreams and is the only surviving person I have left now that believes in me. I'm babbling, but I just want to thank you for what you both provided in this discussion and I promise to get my focus back in the moment so I'm not stuck in the trauma of things in my childhood similar to you Mel, but also not think my happiness is once I hit that 10,000 dollar and hopefully million mark, but that this journey is also where my happiness lies! I'm thankful to watch your podcasts it helps to feel the presence of my mom in a sense of someone who seems to really care and gives me encouragement through my day. God bless (:

I’m glad you have a supportive partner next to you, as I had to figure out how to go on with my life on my own, without too much of support from my partner or kids. But I feel blessed with an amazing friend, who went through the same experience and she understands and supports me like no one else. Hang in there!

    First I walked away from a toxic job after 8 years with the same organisation, then I moved from the city to a small village, then I narrowed my “friends” circle.

Also Mel, I am almost done with my volunteer hospice training and will be assigned to a patient next month. The episode where your mom shared she has been doing hospice volunteering for forty years and that keeps her fulfilled and with perspective led me to take the leap into the sacred space of transition from physical life to spirit.

    Please don't take this wrong but thank you so much for showing up for this podcast with a little bit of roots. I don't always get to things like that the minute I need to and something about seeing that with you also and how real that is made me feel like it's okay. I'm not a total slob and you certainly are not either but it's nice to see that we don't have to be perfect every single minute! That right there helps with happiness!

    I have a question. I'm curious about something..
    In case of manifestation, I have to do some manifestation technique like visualization, vision board etc. (I have to imagine everything my dream career / house / car etc. )
    But, in the law of detachment we have to forget what we want ? Otherwise it'll show up like I'm chasing my dreams? / goals?? Which I can't find link between these two technique.
    I don't understand this part.
    Can you please explain / make a video to get to know clearly about manifestation and law of detachment.

    I would like to know if faith was brought into this Harvard study? I have also seen studies where people who have faith in a higher power (for me, it's God), also experience more happiness. I was that person always looking for happiness through stuff and relationships. I had the new car, big house, married to a wonderful man, a mom of 3 daughters nand was still unhappy. This all changed when a good friend of mine invited me to attend a fabulous church where I learned about the love, grace and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. Do I still have days of sadness and frustration...absolutely!! However, I know that I have a God who loves me unconditionally! I know this live is temporary but I will live in eternity with a loving God!! That is what brings me joy, peace and a love that I can share with others.

    Why Mel Robbins, Tony Robbins, Brandon Burchard, Dr. Eric Thomas, Les Brown, ( just to mention a few ) don't run for office and become Presidents? Can you imagine what they can do if given that public position?

    • @Anananushi
      @Anananushi หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Tony Robbins has caused a lot of suffering in people. Do some research on that.
      Mel Robbin’s is not any smarter or luckier than you. Listen to yourself, not anyone else.

    • @cariocajin
      @cariocajin หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@Anananushi And other politicians in the past didn't cause a lot of suffering to people? Mel Robbins has ADHD. I wish I had it too. I can't take your advice because it became self-defeated when you stated that I should listen to myself and not anyone else. Does that include yourself?
