Unemployment and multiple job losses boosts heart attack risk
Is this surprising to anyone? The stress levels that unemployment incurs, especially with our current unemployment rates, could take anyone to the madhouse.
Makes sense, recent researches indicate that one factor behind being resilient is being “optimistic.” By extension, resiliency is an important characteristic behind successful people.

Some of the commenters have interesting interpretations of the link between happiness and success. I believe Wasif is correct that perseverance is associated with both success and happiness.

The bottom line is that people who have a positive mental attitude, try hard, persevere until they accomplish something are far more apt to be successful and happy with the results of their efforts.

That’s shouldn’t come as a surprise. The average adult man should consume 2,500 calories per day (woman; 2,000). Five percent is equivalent to one beer (i.e. 125 calories).
unemployment and job losses boost heart attack risk not only because of the added stress, but also because other health factors decline as a result. for example, people may be more inclined to spend less on food by eating from the dollar menu more often
By being happy, people open themselves up for oppotunities they might not have received if they were unpleasant to be around.

Given that having alcohol in your system increases survival chances in the ER, alcohol consumption looks good.
