Life Death and Emotions

I learned this information some time ago, but recently again in much greater detail.  It's worth knowing - to the extent you express genuine positive emotion; the less chances of death.

It sounds strange, but put in another way; the happier and more you express it, the better chances of a longer life.


The numbers on the left represent the relative chances of death. 
The "Low, Moderate, High" on the right is refering
to the level of positve emotion expression.

I got this information from a magnificent book Flourish by Martin Seligman.  I recommend it.
