The Atlantic has an article about George Vaillant’s longitudinal study of the physical and mental well-being of a cohort that were Harvard sophomores in 1937. The article looks at some of the study’s insights into happiness.
People unfamiliar with Vaillant are probably wondering what this has to do with the focus of this blog. This particular study has little to do with it but Vaillant id the author of The Natural History of Alcoholism, based on another longitudinal study of a alcoholism.
