Live Better with Optimism

Sunday May 11, 2008
Do you find yourself creating the life you want, or are you overwhelmed by constant setbacks? Would you like to find more success and better health just by changing your outlook? The topic of optimism is one of my favorites (in fact, I recently spoke with Carl Lanore from Super Human Radio on the benefits of optimism, and you can listen to the show here). Studies show that optimists don't just notice the good in life, they actually create better circumstances for themselves with their positive outlook! You may be surprised, however, by the differences between optimists and pessimists--you could be a pessimist and not even realize it! The following resources can help you to better understand the differences between optimists and pessimists, see where you fall on the continuum, and find resources for leading a more optimistic life. Enjoy!
