Perspective—how you view yourself and your role within the world—is one of the final steps towards a healthier self, but it’s also one of the hardest areas to optimize. On today’s episode of Health is a Skill, Todd sits down with Dr. Chris Renna, one of the nation’s premier preventative medical providers, to talk perspective, optimism, and longevity. 

It’s not a secret that having a more optimistic perspective can lead to a longer, healthier, and happier life, but how do we actually become more optimistic? Dr. Renna and Todd discuss some practical ways we can all employ to become more positive about life, the studies surrounding a positive perspective and increased longevity, and how psychedelic assisted therapy can be used as a tool to shift our perspective for the better. Towards the end of the episode Todd shares a personal story of coming to terms with his own perspective and how he worked to change that to a more optimistic outlook over time.
