Optimists live longer, healthier lives than pessimists, US researchers said on Thursday. In a Women’s Health Initiative study women who were optimistic — those who expect good rather than bad things to happen — were 14 percent less likely to die from any cause than pessimists and 30 percent less likely to die from heart disease after eight years.

Good news for me!
