As I wait for my boss to get back to the office today so I may give him my notice, I read this Atlantic Monthly article and wanted to post it as soon as possible. I had this bookmarked for a few weeks, so I don't remember how it came to my attention but I found it captivating.
Is there a formula—some mix of love, work, and psychological adaptation—for a good life? For 72 years, researchers at Harvard have been examining this question, following 268 men who entered college in the late 1930s through war, career, marriage and divorce, parenthood and grandparenthood, and old age. Here, for the first time, a journalist gains access to the archive of one of the most comprehensive longitudinal studies in history. Its contents, as much literature as science, offer profound insight into the human condition—and into the brilliant, complex mind of the study’s longtime director, George Vaillant.

I have been diligently studying for my exams and cannot wait to start the new job. I feel very optimistic right now. I look forward to celebrating with you all soon- but I have at least 40 hours of studying left and a wedding in LA this weekend so I predict it wil be 2 weeks before we can do so. At that time, we will drink many large cold glasses of delicious, expensive beer.
Until then, my friends!
