- Laugh. Be happy. Be optimistic. Get enough sleep. Stay out of debt.
- Do not stay at a boring job that pays badly. Have a good relationship with your boss. Try and get promoted. Kissing ass is good for you. Job insecurity and unemployment are correlated with poor health.
- Connecting with others can be more important than exercise. Spend time with friends. Loneliness can kill you. Blaming others can make you ill. Forgive.
- It’s essential to have a feeling of control over your life but you don’t want to be a perfectionist.
- Kiss more. Having more orgasms might extend your life. (Guys, more orgasms will probably reduce your chance of prostate cancer.)
