The Grant Study

The Grant Study is a long-term research project initiated by Harvard University that started in 1938, tracking the lives of 268 men to understand what contributes to a fulfilling and healthy life. It examines how factors like relationships, personality, career, and lifestyle influence well-being and longevity over decades. The study’s findings highlight that strong relationships and emotional connections are among the most important predictors of happiness and health in later years. It provides valuable insights into the importance of social bonds and emotional health in achieving a meaningful and balanced life.
