About Optimism
- Optimism is a mental attitude or worldview. A common idiom used to illustrate optimism versus pessimism is a glass with water at the halfway point, where the optimist is said to see the glass as half full and the pessimist sees the glass as half empty.
- To be optimistic is a good attribute to have in a stressful and ever-changing world, which challenges our worldview and the way we feel about changes.
- Optimistic people are usually more happy, less stressful, and more productive.
- Learn through our speakers why optimism is a very important subject to talk about and how it can change your organization, business, or yourself for the better.
