Get rich AND die trying: Ambitious people earn more money - but have poorer health and die younger

Get rich AND die trying: Ambitious people earn more money - but have poorer health and die younger, says study | Mail Online:


Ambitious 'go getters' earn more money throughout their lives - but the 'price' is that they have poorer health and die younger.

They are also not much happier than less ambitious people.

A new study tracked 717 high achievers who attended universities such as Oxford, Harvard and Yale, as well as high ability individuals who didn't attend universities.

The researchers speculate that highly ambitious people may devote so much time to their jobs that they neglect areas of life proven to help people live long, happy lives, such as having strong networks of friends and stable relationships.
