Who Lives Longer—Pessimists OR Optimists????
Here's a study that really surprised me and worries me---I AM an optimist. According to a new study, pessimists live longer than optimists.
Researchers found that people with a more negative outlook on life tend to live longer – and healthier – lives.
Part of the reason this might be happening is that people who think the future is going to be gloomy end up taking more precautions – which keeps them safer and healthier in their old age. (DailyNebraskan.com)
