The Harvard Grant Study (HGS), originally called the Harvard Longitudinal Study and then the Harvard Grant TStudy of Social Adjustments, eventually became known as The Harvard Study of Adult Development. Developmental Psychology had by far spoken only about stages of development in children, right through adolescence, a process that would cease by age 21. The Harvard Grant Study sought to turn this very basic premise of Developmental Psychology on its head. It eventually came up with findings that very clearly showed that human beings continue to evolve for the rest of their lives, even after having crossed adolescence and adulthood, well into their sixties and seventies. It spoke about Adult Development in a way that no other study had ever done in the past. The magnitude of effort in terms of time as well as funding that went into this project eventually is unprecedented in the history of Developmental studies. HGS data has resulted in the publication of four titles, namely, Adaptation to Life (1977), Wisdom of the Ego (1993), Aging Well (2002) and the latest Triumphs of Experience (2012)
