Dr Sue Varma joins Dr Friedman to discuss something we could all use a little more of—optimism. We live in a world filled with stress, uncertainty, and a never-ending stream of bad news. It’s easy to get caught in a cycle of negativity, feeling like things are out of our control. Dr Varma shares how optimism isn’t just for the naturally cheerful; it’s something we can train our minds to embrace—a skill, a science, and a practice.  

 Her groundbreaking book, Practical Optimism isn’t about wishful “glass half full” thinking—it’s rooted in real science and practical strategies that can help us not only survive tough times but thrive because of them. If you’ve ever wondered how some people are able to bounce back stronger after setbacks—or if you’re ready to shift your perspective in a way that boosts your health, happiness, and success—this episode is for you.
