The last thing I want to talk about, apropos of the issue of the pursuit of happiness, is that study after study have shown that people who are lonely and depressed — and depression is the other real epidemic in our culture — are many times more likely to get sick and die prematurely, in part because, as we talked about, they ’ re more likely to smoke and overeat and drink too much and work too hard and so on.
Por último, a propósito del asunto de la búsqueda de la felicidad, es que estudio tras estudio han mostrado que la gente solitaria y deprimida, y la depresión es otra epidemia en nuestra cultura, son mucho más susceptibles a enfermarse o morir prematuramente, en parte porque como comenté, tienden a fumar comer, beber de más o trabajar demasiado.
