And in the book you kind of talk about, Tyler, there are some broad general differences that you can observe and how different groups of people react. And obviously these are there's a distribution. It's not cut and dry, but you
Speaker 1
were looking at this before the episode. You're digging deep into the research on this too. Yeah.
Speaker 2
I mean, so I always do a little research before episodes. And I mean, I think because I'm an academic, the way people use Google, I use like Google Scholar. So when other people just like Google stuff, I find myself doing that lesson less because it's just so much easier for me to like go to the actual academic literature. And
Speaker 1
there's so much garbage on the Google results too. And people just misinterpreting these research articles left and
Speaker 2
right. Yeah, so for me as an academic, somebody who's like trained to read research studies, I would rather just go to the research studies. And so when I was doing that for this, one of the big things, and I know you mentioned a little bit in the book that women tend to find it easier to savor than men. Obviously, again, this is a distribution. This is not a cut and dry rule. Not all women are better at this. And there's a spectrum here, obviously. But that said, I think one of the things that came out of some of the academic literature is that there's also this relationship between emotional intelligence and savoring where people who are emotionally intelligent do find it easier to savor or because they also find it much easier to kind of prolong these like positive emotions associated with experiences. And so there's also a very well documented relationship between gender and emotional intelligence where women tend to have higher levels of emotional intelligence. Except for us,
