How to Live the Good Life

Tuesday, August 28, 2018

Dr. Judson Brewer, associate professor at UMass and research affiliate at MIT, is an expert on changing bad habits, from cigarettes to social media overuse. He will help you eliminate whatever is holding you back. Then we will be joined by Dr. Robert Waldinger, a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and Zen priest who is the director of Harvard's 75-year study on adult life and happiness, the longest of its kind. Finally, Dr. William Irvine will tell us how ancient philosophers like Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius can help you find your purpose. We hope you'll join us at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM.
