A brief YouTube #shorts by TJ Walker discussing the idea—attributed to the book Useful Delusions—that people who hold positive, even delusional, expectations about their longevity tend to outlive self-described realists. Walker shares a personal anecdote about aiming to live to 100 despite family longevity patterns and labels this hopeful mindset a "positive delusion," encouraging viewers to adopt his habit.
