In this episode, I discuss the benefits of optimism for creative entrepreneurs and how you can actually alter your world outlook through learned optimism. I delve into all the latest research on optimism — including frameworks for developing it — and explain how we can hone our personal optimism to be happier and more successful.

Also in this episode: a brief history of the Optimist's Creed, the habits of ride-or-die optimists, and my very best tips for taking on the Optimism Challenge.
