About The Power of Real Optimism by Deepika Chopra

Optimism isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about staying open and flexible-especially when it's not. In this fresh, science-backed debut, professional psychologist and media expert Dr. Deepika Chopra show s us how to build the kind of optimism that can actually withstand real life.

We've been sold the idea that optimism is a mood, a mindset, or worse-just an inherent trait. But what if real optimism is something else entirely?

In The Power of Real Optimism, Dr. Deepika Chopra-known as The Optimism Doctor®-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-as well as her work with clients, innovative workshops, and hallmark practices (think: evidence-based visualization, narrative reframing, her signature "self-worth work," and even color)-Dr. Chopra offers a toolkit for navigating the chaos, uncertainty, and nuance of being human-without losing yourself to it.

There are so many options, I'm not sure what to choose!
