I'm looking for this book review article.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB111867751964458052

It's the WSJ review of Robert Sapolsky's "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" that I'm looking for. And I think that is the link. It begins with:

The Secrets of Successful Aging
What Science Tells Us About Growing Older -- And Staying Healthy

By Tara Parker-PopeStaff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
June 20, 2005 at 11:59 pm ET

Today, the average person in the U.S. lives for nearly 78 years. But what about those people who beat the average? Why do some men and women defy the chronological odds to live longer and in good health?

Now, that sounds like they are first going to review the Harvard Grant Study. (Answer: it's stable loving relationships.)

But I think they next reviewed Sapolsky's book.

I read the article 2 decades ago commuting on BART and both have stayed with me. Sapolsky's later works as well.

Anyone?

Maybe this is the link I'm looking for:

The Best Health Books: On Teen Brains, Stress and Briefly Hating Your Husband

For quick health advice, I usually turn to the Internet. But for inspiration and motivation, I head to the bookstore.

Over the years, various books have helped me change my eating habits, jump-start my exercise program and cope with illness in my family. That's why, each year at this time, I dedicate a column to my favorite health books, including some that may be new to you.

This one is not the article I'm looking for, but surely interesting reading nonetheless.

Are Alpha Males Healthy?
Aggressiveness Aids Rise to Top, But the Stress Can Harm a Body

By Melinda Beck
Updated September 13, 2011


Alpha males get the girls, but beta males have fewer stress-related health problems, at least among baboons, according to a recent Princeton study. As Melinda Beck explains on Lunch Break, that appears to have health consequences for humans, too.
"Whenever you put alpha males together, the most aggressive will overpower the others," says T. Byram Karasu, the veteran psychiatrist who has run the sessions for the past 23 years. The fighting is subtle, but it's vicious. "Even giving advice is geared toward lowering the others' self-esteem. Those at the lower end of the group come away doubting themselves, and their testosterone falls. They tell me they can't have sex for three or four days afterward."

It isn't easy being an alpha male. Getting…

All 3 links mentions Sapolsky's book.



And the above referenced story is about his research showing that the B-level baboons live longer and do just fine in passing on their DNA. Because the females LIKE them!

Had cal scored the 2-pT conversion I'd be good. But we didn't, DW got pissed and decided to flame me, so I don't think he will.

Imagine having so much free time you post about something as inconsequential as Cal football. Couldn't be me.

Imagine having so much free time you engage in dialogue with…. Wait for it….
Movie lover.

I'd rather try to go find this guy and take him for an omelette breakfast than figure movie lover out.

I think I'm about 3 posts away from convincing movielover

Maybe if we changed our mascot to the Zebras, my mental health would improve.

Thank you. Awesome.
