Una bona vida

What is the key to a good life? What makes us happy? A study that has lasted 84 years explains it to us. More than eighty years ago, at Harvard, the largest study ever conducted on happiness was launched. The aim of the research was to discover what are the factors that make a life happy and full, and to do this they began systematic interviews with more than seven hundred people and their families. During all these years, the lives of these individuals have been observed in all their aspects, from adolescence to old age, following their professional successes and failures, their economic level, their partner relationships, the birth of their children children and the death of loved ones. What has made them happy at every moment of their lives and how has this happiness impacted their health and longevity?This is a rigorous and surprising book, which through inspiring personal stories and very useful practical advice, shows us that happiness is not synonymous with financial success and that achieving a full and long life is more in our hands than we think
