Program will include an exciting speaker: Dr. Leslie Martin "HOW TO LIVE LONG AND PROSPER"
The idea of living a long and fulfilling life has universal appeal, but is there a secret to doing so? Research conducted at UCR by Howard Friedman and Leslie Martin examined, refined, and supplemented data gathered as part of the original "Longevity Project," led by the late Stanford psychologist Louis Terman, who studied more than 1,500 children to identify the most important predictors of long life. Starting in 1921, the Longevity Project followed the children through their lives, collecting information that included family histories, relationships, teacher and parent ratings of personality, hobbies, pet ownership, job success, education levels, and military service. Friedman and Martin said their most amazing finding was that personality characteristics and social relations from childhood can actually predict one’s risk of dying decades later.
Nine decades later, we now have a better understanding of the traits, relationships, and experiences that are most important to vitality, satisfaction, and longevity. Dr. Martin will also share a few surprising discoveries that contradict what we are often told by friends, the media, or "common sense" and discuss how you can apply these findings professionally and personally. The Longevity Project has received significant national media coverage in recent months, including The Atlantic Monthly, Good Morning America, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and NPR.
