Research shows that happiness bottoms out in our 40’s—but as we get older, we actually get happier through the decades. This week in a special 2-part episode, we’re testing out the happiness curve in real life, with people who are contending with aging in the decades ahead of us: the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.

A Good Age Revisited

Last spring, we explored why people actually get happier as they get older despite everything our culture tells us to the contrary. We’re delighted to return to those conversations that made us think differently about the ages we are now, and made us more hopeful about where we’re headed.

A Better Age (part 2)

Research tells us that as we age, we get happier—but how can this be true when getting older often means losing the people and things that we love?

Today, we return for part 2 of A Better Age, where people in their 70's, 80's, and 90's give us hope for what's ahead.

This episode is dedicated in loving memory of Isaac Yunhu Lee, who made this world a better place to be.
