GOOD N EWS PANGLOSS POWER

Here’s something to really smile about. A 30-year study shows that folks with a positive perspective live 19% longer than pessimists. How this might work is not clear, but it may be that an optimistic attitude somehow strengthens the immune system or simply inspires people to take better care of themselves. In the study, the optimists were happy to credit themselves when things went right, and they tended to view crisis as fleeting. Pessimists, on the other hand, were chronic self-blamers. Most of us are, no doubt, a bit of both.

Aqui está algo para realmente sorrir. Um estudo de 30 anos mostra que pessoas com uma perspectiva positiva vivem 19% mais que os pessimistas. Como isso pode funcionar não está claro, mas pode ser que uma atitude otimista de alguma forma fortaleça o sistema imunológico ou simplesmente inspire as pessoas a cuidar melhor de si mesmas. No estudo, os otimistas ficaram felizes em creditar a si mesmos quando as coisas deram certo e tenderam a ver a crise como passageira. Os pessimistas, por outro lado, eram auto-culpados crônicos. A maioria de nós é, sem dúvida, um pouco dos dois.
