In an era of climate anxiety, political polarization, and economic uncertainty, suggesting optimism might seem tone-deaf or naive. But what if optimism isn't about ignoring reality but instead equips us to face it more effectively?

Today, we explore the counterintuitive power of hopeful thinking in difficult moments. Drawing on both cutting-edge psychology and James Hillman's intriguing "acorn theory," we'll share practical techniques for nurturing genuine optimism without falling into toxic positivity or denial.

Perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed by current events who wants to rediscover purpose and possibility without sacrificing realism.
