TJ Walker explains positive delusions, citing research showing optimistic people outlive realistic ones. He tells himself he'll live to 100 despite his family history of men dying around 62, and argues this mindset actually works.

Chapters

According to authors of the book Useful Delusions, individuals who are highly delusional when it comes to their expectations on life actually outlive, in a rather dramatic way, people who consider themselves very realistic. I tell myself every single day I'm going to live to be a hundred completely fit and active. Is that delusional? Considering a lot of men in my family don't make it past 62, perhaps. But I'm feeling good and I am hoping for the best. That is a positive delusion. Please follow the T.J. walker habit.
