The Good Life was made possible by Prudential Financial y is based on the findings of the Harvard Study of Adult Development — better known as the “Harvard Happiness Study,” an eight-decade-long scientific investigation into what brings us genuine joy. The film illustrates the study’s results through the stories of five people at different stages of life, from Christopher Taylor, a 25-year-old Newark native who dances with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, to D’yan Forest, a 91-year-old stand-up comedian.
In between, study directors Drs. Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz discuss their discoveries — and celebrities including Oscar-winner Rita Moreno, former New York Yankees outfielder Bernie Williams, comedian Susie Essman and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson talk about what’s fueled their long careers.
