Quotes by Howard S. Friedman (?)

“Conscientiousness, as we have established, is a strong predictor of longevity, and it turns out that the professionally successful Terman subjects were indeed more conscientious than their peers. But conscientiousness didn’t explain everything: those with a successful career lived much longer even after taking their conscientiousness into account. Conscientiousness did, however, make a big difference for those who were least successful in their careers. Those men who were very unsuccessful in their careers and who were also very unconscientious (on their childhood assessments) had a whopping increase in their mortality risk. If you were both unconscientious and unsuccessful, you were especially likely to die before reaching even age sixty.”

“But living out one’s dreams was not what led to health and longevity. It was a productive perseverance, a sense of mastery and accomplishment buoyed by one’s career successes, that did that.”
