À propos de cette vidéo

Psychologist and visual imagery expert, Dr. Deepika Chopra, known as the The Optimism Doctor®, discusses her book "The Power of Real Optimism: A Practical, Science-Based Guide to Staying Resilient, Curious, and Open Even When Life Is Hard," which shows us how to build the kind of optimism that can actually withstand real life. Optimism isn’t about pretending everything is fine. It’s about staying open and flexible—especially when it’s not. Dr. Chopra offers a radically different definition: optimism as a science, a skill, and a psychological muscle we can strengthen. Drawing from over a decade immersed in the science of resilience, emotional well-being, and cognitive psychology, the book is a toolkit for navigating the chaos, uncertainty, and nuance of being human—without losing yourself to it.
