Dear Free Presser, Arthur Brooks is a Harvard professor, social scientist, and one of the world’s leading authorities on human happiness. He is also one of our most-read columnists—and if you’re a free subscriber, you’re missing his column every week. Every Monday, Arthur applies the science of happiness and meaning to the questions that actually matter: how to live well, work well, age well, and find purpose in a world that is very good at making all of that harder with each passing day. It’s the kind of writing that makes you put down your phone and think—which, given how long we all stare at our screens every day, is no small thing. This week, Arthur wrote about why he lives with his grandchildren—and why he thinks more people should, too. It’s funny, honest, and convincing in the way his columns always are.
