Rowan Tree and Red Thread

A remarkable longitudinal study is discussed in this interview with George Vaillant, the psychiatrist and Harvard professor at the helm of the study for the last 42 years. I'm amazed and intrigued by the sheer volume of information and minutae gathered about the 268 men in the study, and by the implications the study has for happiness and well-being in one's own life.
