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(R)--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.
Grounded, practical, and poetic in all the right ways, this book will challenge your relationship with hope, rewire how you recover from hard things, and invite you to stay soft without falling apart. With her blend of intimate storytelling, psychological insight, and tangible tools--including a 33-day Real Optimism Challenge--Dr. Chopra offers something far more enduring than a quick fix or fleeting affirmation. She invites us into a deeper, more resilient way of living--one where we can stay curious in the face of fear, open in the face of grief, and grounded even as the world wobbles beneath us.
Because real optimism doesn't deny the dark--it teaches us how to see in it.
