It's a little thermostat.
Like a sociometer, I think is what someone calls it.
One of my colleagues calls it.
We're social animals, right?
We don't live in isolation.
Man does not live on an island, right?
And so that also means, so if I were to build a self-esteem intervention right now, I would say, go out, and this is actually very similar to my happiness interventions, go out and help other people, right?
Contribute to community.
Well, actually, the three buckets that contribute to happiness are
anything to do with connection.
So go and connect with other people, right?
Spend time with others, listen, you know, we'll get back, we'll get to that later.
Two, contribution to society, to community, right?
Helping others.
When you help others, you're going to get positive feedback from the world.
And then the third is personal growth, right?
So work on yourself, but it also can be just like learning to garden, learning a new language, going to travel, having experiences that you can talk about
to other people, this gives you esteem, right?

Well, interesting in Western society, most people have romantic relationships that actually a far majority end up getting married at some point, I think something like 85% by age 56.
