you can live easily 10 years longer than you would have because we were able to compare the people who didn't take care of their health with the people who did.
And that wasn't such a surprise because other studies had begun to find that as well.
It makes total sense.
A lot of sense.
What didn't make sense to us at first was when we found that the people who stayed the healthiest and lived the longest were the people who had more social relationships and warmer relationships.
People who were more socially connected
stayed healthy longer, and they lived longer.
And the thing is, we didn't believe it, because how could the quality of your relationships get into your body and make it more or less likely that you'll get heart disease?
Or diabetes, right?
Or arthritis?
How could that be a thing?
So we've been unpacking that in our lab.
We've been trying to understand how it works.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, the making money, I mean, obviously we need to make money to get our basic needs met.
And nobody's happy if they don't have those needs met, you know, for housing and food and educate their children, all that.
But once you get beyond that, making a lot of money doesn't make you happy.
And we all know there are people who are miserable, who are really wealthy.
That it's not the same.
Some wealthy people are quite happy and some are quite unhappy.
