People who claim to be happy tend to live longer, commit suicide and abuse drugs and alcohol less often, get promoted more frequently by their employers, and enjoy more good friends and lasting marriages. Their assessments of their own well-being also align quite closely with the opinions of friends and family members.
那些自觉幸福的人往往寿命更长，更少出现自杀，滥用药物或者酗酒等行为，更容易升职，朋友更多，婚姻也更长久。他们对于自身幸福的评估也与其亲友的观点更为接近。
