I picked up this book this weekend as we all get older every year. The full title of the book is more impressive - "Surprising Guideposts to a Happier Life from the Landmark Harvard Study of Adult Development" by George Vaillant.
The book was a bit disappointing. He talks of three groups in the U.S primarily Caucasian - one from inner city, one from Harvard and another composed of women and finds the causes for longevity.
I found the appendices more interesting than the book itself. One may find the reviews in Amazon sufficient than reading the entire book.
