"Happy, Healthy and Odd: Nonconformists Live Longer."
For modern-day eccentrics, computer hackers
qualified, as did academics, scientists, rock stars and
artists. Traits: nonconforming; creative; strongly
motivated by curiosity; idealistic (wanting to make the
world a better place and the people in it happier);
cheerfully obsessed with one or more hobbyhorses; aware
from early childhood of being different; intelligent,
opinionated, outspoken; convinced of being right and
that the rest of the world is out of step;
noncompetitive (not in need of reassurance from the rest
of society); unusual in eating habits and living
arrangements; not particularly interested in the
opinions or the company of other people, except to
persuade them to his point of view; possessed of a
mischievous sense of humor; single; usually the eldest
or an only child; a bad speller.
