What keeps us healthy and happy as we go through life? If you were going to invest now in your future best self, where would you put your time and your energy? There was a recent survey of millennials asking them what their most important life goals were, and over 80 percent said that a major life goal for them was to get rich. And another 50 percent of those same young adults said that another major life goal was to become famous.在我们的人生中是什么让我们保持健康且幸福呢？如果现在你可以为未来的自己投资，你会把时间和精力投资在哪里呢？最近在千禧一代中有这么一个调查，问他们生活中最重要的目标是什么，超过80%的人说最大的生活目标就是要有钱，还有50%的年轻人说，另一个重要的生活目标就是要出名。
And we're constantly told to lean in to work, to push harder and achieve more. We're given the impression that these are the things that we need to go after in order to have a good life. Pictures of entire lives, of the choices that people make and how those choices work out for them, those pictures are almost impossible to get. Most of what we know about human life we know from asking people to remember the past, and as we know, hindsight is anything but 20/20. We forget vast amounts of what happens to us in life, and sometimes memory is downright creative.而且我们总是被灌输要投入工作要加倍努力要成就更多。我们被灌输了这样一种观念，只有做到刚才说的这些才能有好日子过。要人们纵观整个人生，想象各种选择，以及这些选择最终导致的结果，几乎是不可能的。关于人的一生，我们能了解到的，大部分都是通过人的回忆得来，但众所周知，大部分都是事后诸葛。一生中，我们会忘记很多发生过的事情，而且记忆常常不可靠。
But what if we could watch entire lives as they unfold through time? What if we could study people from the time that they were teenagers all the way into old age to see what really keeps people happy and healthy?但如果我们可以从头到尾地纵观人的一生呢？如果我们可以跟踪研究一个人，从他少年时代开始一直到他步入晚年，看看究竟是什么让人们保持快乐和健康呢？
