Description:
The Mindfulness and Well-Being in Law Committee is excited to announce the selection for our next book club! Join us every other month as we come together as a community to explore books that relate to mindfulness, well-being and how they relate to our lives as lawyers.

Our next book club will be held on Thursday, November 16 at 7pm. We are reading  The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness  by Robert Waldinger, MD and Marc Schulz, PhD. 

What makes for a happy life, a fulfilling life? A good life? The authors, directors of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest scientific study of human happiness ever conducted, show that the answer to these questions may be closer than you realize. They reveal that the strength of our connections with others can predict the health of both our bodies and our brains as we go through life. The invaluable insights in this book emerge from the personal stories of hundreds of study participants who were followed every year for their entire adult lives, bolstered by research findings from many other studies. The Good Life shows us that it’s never too late to strengthen the relationships you already have and never too late to build new ones. 

The Good Life is available at Bookshop.org, Amazon, Barnes & Noble  and your local public library or independent book store.

We look forward to sharing this initiative of the Mindfulness and Well-Being Committee with you and engaging as a community through books on how mindfulness can help us live better lives.

*While we encourage you to read the book, it is not necessary to have completed the book to participate. We will base our discussion on the themes that The Good Life explores, which are universal themes and not solely dependent on the content of the book.
