Positive emotions and good health have a strong link.  In a new study by the Journal of Psychological Science, we find that positive emotions affect the health of people around the world.  And, amazingly, contraty to the beliefs of researchers the study found that health and positive emotions like enjoyment, love, and happiness were stronger in countries whose GDP was not particularly strong.  In other words, the GDP of Malawi is $900 per year, and they have a better connection between health and positive emotions than citizens of the US.  Let’s pick it up America; we need to give up our worrying and negative thinking and let ourselves live in a naturally positive place.  Surely we can do as well as the Malawi!
