Only about 20% of our health and life expectancy is based on risk factors for disease; the other 80% can be boiled down to quality of life, which Hadler sums up with two questions: "Are you happy in your socioeconomic status, and do you like your job? It's very powerful."
This *sort of* fits into my understanding that health is more than the lack of illness. What I find more shocking than the relative unimportance of risk factors for disease is that what matters [apparently] is satisfaction with your socioeconomic status and your job rather than, oh, your relationships.
Requires more investigation...
