The Value of Friendship as We Age

July 15, 2022
How to Be Happy as You Age

There are 7 indicators, based on a Harvard Study that indicate how happy and well you will be later in life. A full explanation is here.


Briefly, the 7 are:


  1. Don’t smoke
  2. Do not abuse alcohol
  3. Maintain healthy body weight
  4. Exercise
  5. Adaptive coping style
  6. Education
  7. Stable, long-term relationships

Focus on Friendships

“With three things I am delighted, for they are pleasing to the Lord and to human beings: Harmony among relatives, friendship among neighbors, and a wife and a husband living happily together.” Sirach 25:1

“The people most satisfied in thoier relationships at age fifty ere the healthieest at age eighty.” Robert Waldinger

Here is Waldinger’s TED talk on this topic.
