The majority of the human race lives with chronic stress. Spreading depends on the cancer and how quick it is caught, the worrying part is barely even negligible - as they point out early on. Can't wait for part two on why happy people live longer. Hokum.



Lesson I learned from my first adult job: money might not buy happiness, but being broke sure is stressful.


i actually felt way more stressed when i started making more money because it opened up way more possibilities which led to analysis paralysis.


Yes, I did say my first adult job -- that's where I went from scrounging paycheck to paycheck to make rent, to being comfortable setting up autopay for my bills. However, I've never been payed at the analysis-paralysis level.

There's a sweet spot, I think, between barely scraping by, and keeping up with the Joneses.


In the near future someone will conduct a scientific study on how people who feel sick generally don't live as long


I did see this recently:

"An unhealthy obsession with sickness increases risk of dying, study says"
