“Optimism lengthens life and helps in dealing with problems at work”

Talking, having a sense of humour and spirituality, doing regular physical exercise and having a number of things that give us satisfaction is some of the advice given by psychiatrist Luis Rojas in order to be optimistic and, as a result, have a longer life and enjoy work more.
