Want to Know How to Live a Good Life? 85 Years of Harvard Research Has the Answer

What does it actually take to build a good life? Dr. Robert Waldinger has spent decades studying that question—and he has 85 years of data to back up his answer. As director of one of the longest-running studies of human life ever conducted, the esteemed Harvard professor joins host Jennifer Borget to unpack what actually makes people thrive: why relationships matter more than your résumé, how chronic stress—including financial stress—does real damage to the body, and why it's never too late to change course. This is the season finale of A Better Way to Money, and it's the conversation we've been building toward all season.
