True optimism can be earned by changing how you talk to yourself about setbacks and failures. Dr. Paulsons video helps you develop flexible optimism by changing how you dispute your own self-criticism by using a focus on the evidence, less self-incriminating alternative explanations, the realistic implications and whether its even useful to worry.
