This week, we dive deep into the science of optimism with the remarkable Dr. Deepika Chopra, known as the "Optimism Doctor." In an enlightening conversation with FYI Chief Growth Officer Julie Pilat, Doctor Chopra shares her personal journey and the science behind cultivating resilience in the face of adversity.

Dr. Chopra, despite not being a naturally optimistic person, has dedicated her career to understanding and teaching the principles of optimism through neuroscience. She candidly discusses her struggles and the transformative lessons learned during her family's challenging experience with her son’s health. This heartfelt narrative reveals the profound connection between optimism and resilience, emphasizing that true optimism is not about ignoring life's difficulties but about navigating through them.
