In this episode, I'm joined by physiatrist and Harvard Medical professor, Dr. Robert Waldinger. By examining the most comprehensive studies on happiness, Waldinger shows us just how much meaningful relationships can transform your mental and physical health. From learning how to cultivate healthy connections by discerning toxic relationships to understanding true gaslighting, we can begin to elevate our happiness based on our individual social threshold - regardless if you are an introvert or an extrovert!
Robert Waldinger is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development at Massachusetts General Hospital, and cofounder of the Lifespan Research Foundation. Dr. Waldinger received his AB from Harvard College and his MD from Harvard Medical School. He is a practicing psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, and he directs a psychotherapy teaching program for Harvard psychiatry residents. He is also a Zen master (Roshi) and teaches meditation in New England and around the world. Robert is the co-author of the book The Good Life: Lessons From the World’s Longest Scientific Study on Happiness (Simon and Schuster; January 10, 2023).
