What are the essential ingredients to achieving a happy and healthy life?
It’s common to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. But to live a truly Limitless life, you have to invest your time and resources into making sure that you aren’t simply surviving-but thriving.
I’m very excited to have Dr. Robert Waldinger on our show today to talk more about this very important topic.

He’s also co-author of the brand-new book, The Good Life: Lesson From the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness.
There’s a misconception that fame or money or success will inevitably lead to happiness. But what does keep you happy and healthy as you proceed through your life? Listen in, as Dr. Waldinger reveals the surprising lessons he’s learned studying happiness over the course of his career.

I watched Dr. Waldingers' original Ted Talk when he presented their decades long study results. Both then and now, wonderful reminders. Thank you both very much.

[@lynnfindlay1895]

I have recently purchased this book.. and have watched the TED talk.. such important work and so interesting. I love the encouragement within . thanks for a great interview

[@Jo-ds3xv]

Great video! It actually makes me think of how detrimental the wrong relationships can be if the good ones make such a positive impact. You can feel so incredibly lonely while being surrounded by many people.

[@natashawalji]

Incredible podcast one of the best I've heard in a very long time and will be listening to it over and over. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@Miromarkus]

i like when you have no music in your videos! I’m a composer and I listen to your podcast also because they are clean, no music, my ears can relax.

[@ddd1dorin396]

Yes, you are right! Nooo music, yes!

[@MissDavisCreations]

So Powerful!! My Favorite Parts: 13:00-14:17, 15:00, 16:12-17:02, 19:52-20:36. Ordering book now! Texting my Grandpa to say Hi and I miss him... also sharing this with my Dad as I believe he can benefit from this as much as I have - THANK YOU BOTH!!

[@helenagarcia2359]

Excelente!!!

[@timtighe9718]

One of the best u_tube videos I have ever watched and I am 70 years old. Thanks.

[@mbalirenemalange1643]

I love listening to you Jim, I heard about you a few years ago but didn't take any action to follow up about you or your work. I recently saw an interview on KZbin it was God sent, I since registered for the new year evolution and bought limitless and my life has not been the same ever since. Thank you so much 2023 is one of the best years of my life because I am finding myself .I am reading and actually really enjoying it. You are a gift to this generation may God bless you and you family. Congratulations on the new member of your family!🤗🤗🤗

[@Enlightme4ever]

Thank you for creating these videos to help us live better lives 🙏🙏

[@adora9594]

Great topic! thanks Jim!

[@LindaFoyle]

What if your 71 (me) woman, no family, and kinda choose to be alone. I’ve experienced a lot in my life, and feel I don’t want to entertain anyone anymore. I garden, go to gym, go shopping and love to walk. Am I doing more Harm to myself?

[@corpsefoot758]

I feel like this exhaustion you have with “entertaining” other people might have to do with negative experiences around them, no? In which case you’re probably an unusual example … Jim usually addresses the general public, but obviously not all of us will fit into such neat boxes

[@FlatWHDF]

You’re in your comfort zone. You’re content with your decision of being alone. You enjoy yourself. That’s all

[@MissDavisCreations]

My personal take on this first of all is I could see myself in that same situation and being quite fine with it. I think that if I was I would focus on placing a lot of value on the interactions I did have such as a simple smile in passing, or "Have a great day" to someone even if it's a stranger. Holding a door open for someone and just feeling that connection for that moment I think would be a great thing for myself anyways ❤️ Wishing you Love and Hapiness!!

[@olid2684]

😊😊

[@kimandari2750]

I've been following this study. I hope everyone 🙏 listens. ❤️

[@CherrY9of7]

However, question. Surely not all social connections can be health promoting. What about those who instead of feeling more socially connected after conversating end up feeling even more alone in the end? What if there is fear of other people. Fear of judgment? What if being social associates more with negative thoughts, feelings and experiences? What advice would You give?

[@goodnewstoeveryone6142]

Glory to God. You are doing excellent work. Your speach encourages the lost people. The way you have overcome challenges, motivates others...Thank you very much

[@gmc22340]

"We" just saw a Miracle in how the hearts of teammates, coaches, & strangers present and throughout the world (via media clips that went Viral) surely united in love to breathe life back into the young Buffalo Bill football player who dropped dead on the football field 6 days ago...

[@FEMCOM97]

Thank you so very much. I am running an social business here in Germany to create small communitys similar to familys to prevent people from loneliness. And I can´t wait to share this video with my next newsletter to my community.

[@shayistabaruah7911]

Interesting listening to Prof Waldinger. Thank you. How can one get the copy of "The Good Life"?

[@piyumdeheragodaperera5716]

Agree 100% I love people animals and nature!

[@rickbrummer3628]

yeah, I actually met a couple who got married at 70+ , so it's never too late

[@Braveheart0803]

Thank you for this video, I need it very badly. I am on point that I want to give up😢😢😢

[@jupiter4057]

That’s why my friend got an angered issue. He need to meet the person who can have a good listener. I can’t listen anymore to him because of too much pressure from him. I know I need to help him and listen to him but i got depression with him. Sick and tired with him. He should go to world for searching for good people.😢

[@beldonhuang]

As many psychologists, psychiatrists and even anthropologists would say, humans are social animals. It is almost impossible for one to live life without forming a connection with the outside world whatsoever. Hence, it is then self-explanatory that as one of the most important steps to enjoy life with meaning, fulfillment and happiness, we should start building and caring about relationships with people, especially with our friends and family. In this ever-changing, unstable and unpredictable world, they are the ones who we could rely on and hold onto.

[@molythomas4050]

Great news & very encouraging 🙏

[@Avyay10]

I'm 48years old living in California, I'm hoping to retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first house last month and I can't be more proud that am i now. I'm glad I made great decision about my finances that changed me forever but now I can't seem to make any other smart investment.

[@osae4151]

Please I need someone to help me trade or invest the forex or crypto market because I'm tired of trading in losses myself. I've blown my account twice and it's frustrating.

[@stevenbeyils]

Her success story is everywhere. I keep on hearing expert Mrs Genevieve name being mentioned here and other platforms, Does she really worth the credits and reviews?

[@stevenbeyils]

Do you happen to know her contact info and /or willing to pass on her info? I'd really appreciate it.

[@osae4151]

I have been on the wrong side for far too long and I'm willing to make consultations to improve my situation. What is the most reliable medium to reach out to her

[@osae4151]

@Lydia Desmond Thank you so much 🙌. I'll send her a text on watap ASAP

[@mirelahua6477]

I am happy if I listen to good music and a favorite artist: Hua Chenyu ❤️.

[@Iskandermeldebekov]

Well 🎉

[@batoketo1210]

How about go home within and build an everlasting relationship with the Holy Spirit. True happiness and peace is always inside of yourself. Anything outside of yourselves will not last forever 🙏🙏🙏

[@tatamll313]

I absolutely agree that the quality of relationship predicts happiness.. most importantly when we have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ of the Bible. Even when we have no one to be with, but when we have Jesus Christ in our life, we can always have the joy and satisfaction within ourselves that can exude happiness.

[@angeloclark5740]
