And then , you know , beyond that , which we talked a little bit about in previous conversations and episodes . But also in my book , Happiness from the Inside out , you know , happiness leads to successful life outcomes . You make more money , you save more money , you have better health , you experience less job burnout , right ?
So it's like outgoing happiness . So when you're happy and you're alone , we just call it happiness when you're happiness and you share it with others automatically organically seamlessly . Without expectation of reciprocity .
It just doesn't take up much real estate in their head or their heart or their , or their lives . And so , you know , we can call it positive illusion because what researchers also found is that people in happy relationships tend to have a much bigger , better , more blissful and loving view and perspective of their partner than even their partner's best friends do . Right .
And so yes , um it's absolutely true that at the end of the day , if I would , you know , simplify it , say look um love is happiness and happiness is presence . Hm Happiness is presence and so is love . I also had this thought about because this has happened and maybe it even happened with you when you first got on the positivity train , I'm sure you've run into this as well .
It's also called the illusion of control sometimes . And what's fascinating within the context of happy and the happiest relationships is that in happy relationships , each partner does something very interesting that doesn't happen in unhappy relationships , which is they look at and focus on and tell themselves the story of and tell everybody else the story of the aspects within the other person that they love and appreciate the most . Ok .
