Onnellisen elämän salaisuus on selvitetty.

Mistä syntyy merkityksellinen elämä? Yksinkertainen mutta yllättävä vastaus on: läheisistä ihmissuhteista.

Kaikkien aikojen kattavimman tutkimuksen mukaan onnellinen elämä ei synny rahasta, asemasta tai uusista tavaroista. Sen sijaan mitä vahvempia ihmissuhteemme ovat, sitä todennäköisemmin elämme onnellista ja kaikin puolin terveempää elämää niin fyysisesti kuin psyykkisesti. Hyvä uutinen on, että koskaan ei ole liian myöhäistä vahvistaa ihmissuhteitaan tai muodostaa uusia. Onnellisen elämän salaisuus pohjaa Harvardin yliopistossa yli 80 vuotta käynnissä olleeseen, pisimpään ihmiselämästä koskaan tehtyyn tutkimukseen. Se opastaa lempeydellä, viisaudella ja lukuisten esimerkkien kautta, miten voimme tehdä elämästämme onnellisempaa. Kirja nousi New York Timesin bestseller-listalle heti ilmestyttyään. ”Tätä kirjaa olemme odottaneet. Onnellisen elämän salaisuus haastaa arvokkuudella, huumorilla ja tieteellisellä perusteellisuudella sitkeimmät oletuksemme ja todistaa, että se kukoistava, onnellinen elämä, jota me kaikki toivomme, onkin ehkä ollut tavoitettavissamme kaiken aikaa.”
