The Lesson from Harvard That fueled Letsqube
In 1938, Harvard University began what would become the world’s longest study on happiness. For more than 80 years, researchers tracked the lives of hundreds of people—documenting their health, careers, triumphs, and struggles. What they discovered wasn’t about money, fame, or achievements.
The clearest lesson was simple: good relationships keep us happier and healthier.
Dr. Robert Waldinger, the current director of the study, summarized it this way:
“The clearest message we get from this 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.”
Why this matters today
We live in a world more connected than ever, yet many of us feel lonelier than ever. Notifications, algorithms, and endless scrolling can fill our time but leave us empty. What we truly crave is connection that feels real—laughing with friends, sharing meals, making memories.
Where Letsqube comes in
This research was one of the sparks that fueled the creation of Letsqube. Born out of a graduate thesis project, Letsqube was built with a clear goal:
Use technology as a bridge, not a barrier.
Make it easier to plan gatherings.
Create more moments that bring people closer together.
We believe the Harvard research isn’t just a historical finding—it’s a roadmap for the future. If quality time is the foundation of a happy, healthy life, then technology should help us spend more of it with the people who matter most.
A personal note
Letsqube is more than just an app; it’s a reminder. A reminder that happiness isn’t hidden in likes, followers, or promotions. It’s right in front of us, at the dinner table, on a walk with a friend, or during a spontaneous get-together.
That’s the heart of Letsqube. Helping you turn “we should catch up sometime” into real-life memories.
