Deep dives
The Influence of Control on Lifespan
Research suggests that individuals in higher positions or ranks tend to live longer than those in lower ranks. This can be attributed to the desire for control and the perception of control over one's life. The study found that the less control one feels, the higher their stress levels, potentially leading to health issues. To live longer or as long as their boss, individuals can focus on outsmarting themselves by accepting that they can control their reactions and thoughts. They can also create pretend pockets of control by engaging in activities that make them feel in control, and accept challenges as opportunities to create something better.
