When Does My Optimism Turn Into Delusion? (I'm Starting to Wonder)

Listen Later

This is me being honest about something I've been thinking about: Am I optimistic or delusional? And how would I even know the difference?

I've always been someone who believes things will work out, that problems are solvable, that setbacks are temporary. But lately I've been wondering if there's a line between helpful optimism and harmful delusion.

What this episode explores:

  • How to tell the difference between optimism and delusion
  • Why self-awareness about your biases is crucial for entrepreneurs
  • When positive thinking becomes a liability instead of an asset

    • Maybe the fact that I'm questioning my optimism means it's not delusion. Or maybe that's exactly what someone delusional would think.
