A New York Times Bestseller

What makes for a happy life, a fulfilling life? A good life? In their "captivating" (The Wall Street Journal) book, the directors of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest scientific study of happiness ever conducted, show that the answer to these questions may be closer than you realize.

What makes a life fulfilling and meaningful? The simple but surprising answer is: relationships. The stronger our relationships, the more likely we are to live happy, satisfying, and healthier lives. In fact, the Harvard Study of Adult Development reveals that the strength of our connections with others can predict the health of both our bodies and our brains as we go through life.

The invaluable insights in this book emerge from the revealing personal stories of hundreds of participants in the Harvard Study as they were followed year after year for their entire adult lives, and this wisdom was bolstered by research findings from many other studies. Relationships in all their forms--friendships, romantic partnerships, families, coworkers, tennis partners, book club members, Bible study groups--all contribute to a happier, healthier life. And as The Good Life shows us, it's never too late to strengthen the relationships you already have, and never too late to build new ones. The Good Life provides examples of how to do this.

Dr. Waldinger's TED Talk about the Harvard Study, "What Makes a Good Life," has been viewed more than 42 million times and is one of the ten most-watched TED talks ever. The Good Life has been praised by bestselling authors Jay Shetty "an empowering quest towards our greatest need: meaningful human connection"), Angela Duckworth ("In a crowded field of life advice...Schulz and Waldinger stand apart"), and happiness expert Laurie Santos ("Waldinger and Schulz are world experts on the counterintuitive things that make life meaningful").

With "insightful [and] interesting" (Daniel Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Stumbling on Happiness) life stories, The Good Life shows us how we can make our lives happier and more meaningful through our connections to others.

The Pickle Means Business
This toy is a godsend. The price is unbeatable in comparison to Petsmart/1-800Petsupplies and even Chewy. This was one of many christmas gifts for our high chewer Aussie and our Border Collie mix, they opened it early like all dogs do. We lovingly nicknamed this toy 'the pickle' and the dogs know if we tell them to go get their pickle, they bring it to us to fill with treats! The pickle is a perfect toy for if you won't be home for awhile, or if your dog needs to be occupied for an hour or two. We fill it with peanut butter and dog food, then freeze and it makes a perfect long lasting toy. My only single complaint to think about is that this toy picks up fur and dirt like mad. It seems the rubber is just a magnet for gross stuff on your floors. Our solution is to ask the dogs to bring us the pickle whenever we run the dishes, and throw it in the dishwasher!

Perfect to distract and engage my dogs
Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
These are quite possibly the best thing ever invented for dogs. They are durable, of high quality, easy to wash, and my dogs love them. These are perfect if I need everyone to be quiet for a phone call or if there is a thunderstorm. It helps distract and engage them, and bonus points: my dogs haven't been able to destroy these yet! Always make sure you measure before you buy something! 💜💜💜

Much better than the smaller versions for my aggressive chewer. For the smaller would they’d bite the sides and start choking on small pieces BUT! Not this one, this one has withheld hours upon hours and has been used repeatedly. It’s much more durable and I love it. The treat rings aren’t expensive for a bunch of them too which is great!

Great toy, not for strong chewers
Color: Orange, Size: Medium
Our Lab Stella loves her "doughnut" treats she gets with this toy! It's a great design, between the rawhide treats that aren't too much for your dog, the nubby teeth cleaner wheels and the hard plastic ends. We're on our 4th one as the hard plastic gets tooth marks & our Stella starts trying to bite off pieces of the plastic. Once it's too chewed, we throw it out and get another one. Not super durable for strong chewers if you intend it to last a long time, but great features if you keep getting new, unchewed ones!
