What keeps us healthy and happy as we go through life?
3
If you were going to invest now in your future best self,
4
where would you put your time and your energy?
5
There was a recent survey of millennials asking them what their most important life goals were.
6
And over 80 percent said that a major life goal for them was to get rich.
7
And another 50 percent of those same young adults said that another major life goal was to become famous.
8
And we're constantly told to lean in to work,
9
to push harder, and achieve more,
10
we're given the impression that these are the things that we need to go after in order to have a good life.
11
Pictures of entire lives, of the choices that people make and how those choices work out for them,
12
those pictures are almost impossible to get.
13
Most of what we know about human life,
14
we know from asking people to remember the past.
15
And as we know, hindsight is anything but 20-20.
16
We forget vast amounts of what happens to us in life,
17
and sometimes memory is downright creative.
18
But what if we could watch entire lives as they unfold through time?
19
What if we could study people from the time
20
that they were teenagers all the way into old age to see what really keeps people happy and healthy?
21
We did that.
22
The Harvard study of adult development may be the longest study of adult life that's ever been done.
23
For 75 years, we've tracked the lives of 724 men.
24
Year after year, asking about their work,
25
their home lives, their health,
26
and of course asking all along the way without knowing how their life stories were going to turn out.
27
Studies like this are exceedingly rare.
28
Almost all projects of this kind fall apart within a decade because too many people drop out of the study,
29
or funding for the research dries up,
30
or the researchers get distracted or they die,
31
and nobody moves the ball further down the field.
32
But through a combination of luck and the persistence of several generations of researchers,
33
of researchers, this study has survived.
34
About 60 of our original 724 men are still alive,
35
still participating in the study,
36
most of them in their 90s.
37
And we are now beginning to study the more than 2,000 children of these men.
38
And I'm the fourth director of the study.
39
Since 1938, we've tracked the lives of two groups of men.
40
The first group started in the study when they were sophomores at Harvard College.
41
They all finished college during World War II,
42
and then most went off to serve in the war.
43
And the second group that we followed was a group of boys from Boston's poorest neighborhoods,
44
boys who were chosen for the study specifically
45
because they were from some of the most troubled and disadvantaged families in the Boston of the 1930s.
46
Most lived in tenements, many without hot and cold running water.
47
When they entered the study,
48
all of these teenagers were interviewed,
49
they were given medical exams.
50
We went to their homes and we interviewed their parents.
51
And then these teenagers grew up into adults who entered all walks of life.
52
They became factory workers and lawyers and bricklayers and doctors,
53
one president of the United States.
54
Some developed alcoholism, a few developed schizophrenia.
55
Some climbed the social ladder from the bottom all the way to the very top,
56
And some made that journey in the opposite direction.
57
The founders of this study would never in their wildest dreams have imagined that I would be standing here today,
58
75 years later, telling you that the study still continues.
59
Every two years, our patient and dedicated research staff calls up our men
60
and asks them if we can send them yet one more set of questions about their lives.
61
Many of the inner-city Boston men ask us,
62
why do you keep wanting to study me?
63
My life just isn't that interesting.
64
The Harvard men never ask that question.
65
To get the clearest picture of these lives,
66
we don't just send them questionnaires.
67
We interview them in their living rooms.
68
We get their medical records from their doctors.
69
We draw their blood.
70
We scan their brains.
71
We talk to their children.
72
We videotape them talking with their wives about their deepest concerns.
73
And when, about a decade ago,
74
we finally asked the wives if they would join us as members of the study,
75
many of the women said,
76
you know, it's about time.
77
So what have we learned?
78
What are the lessons that come from the tens of thousands of pages of information that we've generated on these lives?
79
Well, the lessons aren't about wealth or fame or working harder and harder.
80
The clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this.
81
Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.
82
Period.
83
We've learned three big lessons about relationships.
84
The first is that social connections are really good for us and that loneliness kills.
85
It turns out that people who are more socially connected to family,
86
to friends, to community, are happier,
87
they're physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well-connected.
88
and the experience of loneliness turns out to be toxic,
89
people who are more isolated than they want to be from others find that they are less happy,
90
their health declines earlier in midlife,
91
their brain functioning declines sooner,
92
and they live shorter lives than people who are not lonely.
93
And the sad fact is that at any given time,
94
more than one in five Americans will report that they're lonely.
95
And we know that you can be lonely in a crowd and you can be lonely in a marriage.
96
So the second big lesson that we learned is that it's not just the number of friends you have
97
and it's not whether or not you're in a committed relationship,
98
but it's the quality of your close relationships that matters.
99
It turns out that living in the midst of conflict is really bad for our health.
100
High-conflict marriages, for example, without much affection turn out to be very bad for our health,
101
perhaps worse than getting divorced.
102
And living in the midst of good, warm relationships is protective.
103
Once we had followed our men all the way into their 80s,
104
we wanted to look back at them at midlife
105
and to see if we could predict who was going to grow into a happy,
106
healthy octogenarian and who wasn't.
107
And when we gathered together,
108
everything we knew about them at age 50,
109
it wasn't their middle-aged cholesterol levels that predicted how they were going to grow old.
110
It was how satisfied they were in their relationships.
111
The people who were the most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest at age 80.
112
And good, close relationships seem to buffer us from some of the slings and arrows of getting old.
113
Our most happily partnered men and women reported in their 80s that on the days when they had more physical pain,
114
their moods stayed just as happy.
115
But the people who were in unhappy relationships,
116
on the days when they reported more physical pain,
117
it was magnified by more emotional pain.
118
And the third big lesson that we learn about relationships and our health is that good relationships don't just protect our bodies,
119
They protect our brains.
120
It turns out that being in a securely attached relationship to another person in your 80s is protective,
121
that the people who are in relationships where they really feel they can count on the other person in times of need,
122
those people's memories stay sharper longer.
123
And the people in relationships where they feel they really can't count on the other one,
124
those are the people who experience earlier memory decline.
125
And those good relationships, they don't have to be smooth all the time.
126
Some of our octogenarian couples could bicker with each other day in and day out.
127
But as long as they felt that they could really count on the other when the going got tough,
128
those arguments didn't take a toll on their memories.
129
So this message that good,
130
close relationships are good for our health and well-being,
131
this is wisdom that's as old as the hills.
132
Why is this so hard to get and so easy to ignore?
133
Well, we're human.
134
What we'd really like is a quick fix,
135
something we can get that'll make our lives good and keep them that way.
136
Relationships are messy and they're complicated,
137
and they're complicated, and the hard work of tending to family and friends,
138
that's not sexy or glamorous.
139
It's also lifelong.
140
It never ends.
141
The people in our 75-year study who were the happiest in
142
retirement were the people who had actively worked to replace workmates with new playmates.
143
Just like the millennials in that recent survey,
144
many of our men, when they were starting out as young adults,
145
really believed that fame and wealth and high achievement were what they needed to go after to have a good life.
146
But over and over, over these 75 years,
147
our study has shown that the people who fared the best were the people who leaned into relationships with family,
148
with friends, with community.
149
So what about you?
150
Let's say you're 25 or you're 40 or you're 60.
151
What might leaning into relationships even look like?
152
Well, the possibilities are practically endless.
153
It might be something as simple as replacing screen time with people time,
154
or livening up a stale relationship by doing something new together,
155
long walks or date nights,
156
or reaching out to that family member who you haven't spoken to in years,
157
because those all-too-common family feuds take a terrible toll on the people who hold the grudges.
158
I'd like to close with a quote from Mark Twain.
159
More than a century ago,
160
he was looking back on his life, and he wrote this.
161
There isn't time, so brief is life,
162
for bickerings, apologies, heart-burnings, callings to account.
163
There is only time for loving,
164
and but an instant, so to speak, for that.
165
The good life is built with good relationships.
166
Thank you.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
