I’ll mention upfront that the book has been met with some criticism of Walker’s claims, so I was even more curious. In Why we sleep the reader is provided with several examples suggesting that a lack of adequate sleep both in quantity and quality is connected to ill health, from depression to Alzheimer’s to cardiovascular problems to cancer.

In,  The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness  by Robert Waldinger, MD and Marc Schultz, Ph.D. (2023; published by Simon & Schuster), people did just that. Two generations are followed for over 80 years (with the study still going), known as the  Harvard Study of Adult Development .    There were several great takeaways from this book. For starters, about 40% of one’s happiness is a product of one’s own actions and choices. So, if you’re wanting to be happier, you have some control over it. Moreover, regardless of the stage in life you are at, change is possible for improved happiness and well-being.   Not only do the authors allow you to examine the lives lived of so
