How to Be Happy: Marc Schulz on the Secret to Happiness and the Study of Adult Development

Marc Schulz shares key findings on the secret to happiness from the longest longitudinal study in the world (the Study of Adult Development at Harvard Medical School), which has profiled thousands of people over 84 years, why success and career don't fulfill people, why deep relationships do, and why it's never too late to grow happier and how to do it.

Carey, thanks for consistently providing great content. So much of this is helpful for me as a young pastor. You're appreciated!

Hey Carey, would you mind interviewing Daniel Golmen, on Emotional Intelligence how it is connected to spiritual development

[coffeytnmilk]

I would be interested in the question of how our perception of our connections affect our lives as opposed to reality. For example someone may have many friends and be loved but perceive that they do not have many friends and are in fact not loved.

Psalm 142[a]

A maskil[b] of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer.

1 I cry aloud to the Lord;
I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.
2 I pour out before him my complaint;
before him I tell my trouble.
3 When my spirit grows faint within me,
it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
people have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;
no one cares for my life.
5 I cry to you, Lord;
I say, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need;
rescue me from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong for me.
7 Set me free from my prison,
that I may praise your name.
Then the righteous will gather about me
because of your goodness to me.
