Joy is connection... The more areas in your life you can make connection, the better.
George VaillantIt is not stress that kills us. It is effective adaptation to stress that allows us to live.
George VaillantAging happy and well, instead of sad and sick, is at least under some personal control. We have considerable control over our weight, our exercise, our education, and our abuse of cigarettes and alcohol. With hard work and/or therapy, our relationships with our spouses and our coping styles can be changed for the better. A successful old age may lie not so much in our stars and genes as in ourselves.
