<p>This piece which appeared on the New York Times a few weeks ago got me hooked: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/12/opinion/12brooks.html">“They had it made”</a>, by David Brooks. This is just one click away from the full essay published on the online June issue of The Atlantic, <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200906/happiness">“What makes us happy”</a>, by Joshua W. Shenk. </p>
<p>Go back in time and there’s another article on the Grant Study which appeared in the 1990: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1990/01/16/science/men-at-65-new-findings-on-well-being.html?fta=y">“Men at 65: New Findings On Well-Being”</a>. </p>
<p>Further back and you discover this book by George Vaillant, <a href="http://books.google.it/books?id=SQdVNojI0O0C">“Adaptation to Life”</a>, which tells us the story of the Grant Study men when they were 47. </p>
<p>There is also two interviews to members of the Grant Study, <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200905u/donald-cole">Donald Cole</a> and <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200905u/ben-bradlee">Ben Bradlee</a>. </p>
<p>A final curiosity: there is no Wikipedia entry on the Grant study. </p>
