Thanks for listening. Let's get into it.

Hi everybody, welcome to the show I loved this conversation so much I

cannot wait for you guys to hear this one I am talking to Dr. Deepika Chopra, aka the optimism doctor and we are going

deep. So we cover what optimism really is, the science behind it, the physical benefits, how to be more optimistic,

toxic positivity, why being optimistic doesn't mean we don't experience other emotions,

why it's so important to feel the full range of emotions,

and just so much more.

This was fascinating to me

because I tend to be more of a pessimist at my baseline and I think a lot of people would be

surprised by that but obviously I do a lot of things to counteract that so in general

I'm very positive but it does take work but I learned a lot in this episode particularly the difference between

practicing optimism and being an optimist or being a pessimist but anyway's amazing. I do have to give you a disclaimer. There was a noise that I didn't

hear during the interview, but it picked up on the mic. I think it's bracelets or something like hitting

against each other and it's not overpowering but it's there.

I'm super sensitive to sounds so it hurts my soul but I didn't want to re-record because the content of this is just so good.

So I hope it's not too much of a nuisance and with that enjoy the show.
