Optimists Live Longer

from The Optimistic Outlook with John Eades · host John Eades

Researchers tracked almost 70,000 women and nearly 1,400 men over decades. The most optimistic people lived up to 15% longer. Their odds of making it past 85 were 50 to 70% higher than the least optimistic people in the same study. "Optimism isn't a fixed personality trait. It's a muscle, and it can be trained." This episode is your reminder that being optimistic doesn't just make your life brighter. It may make it longer. 📖 Grab the book: Optimistic Outlook on Amazon
