Optimism isnât about pretending everything is fine. Itâs about staying open and flexibleâespecially when itâs not. In this fresh, science-backed debut, professional psychologist and media expert Dr. Deepika Chopra shows us how to build the kind of optimism that can actually withstand real life.
Weâve been sold the idea that optimism is a mood, a mindset, or worseâjust an inherent trait. But what if real optimism is something else entirely?
In The Power of Real Optimism, Dr. Deepika Chopraâknown as The Optimism Doctor®âoffers a radically different definition: optimism as a science, a skill, and a psychological muscle we can strengthen. Drawing from over a decade immersed in the science of resilience, emotional well-being, and cognitive psychologyâas well as her work with clients, innovative workshops, and hallmark practices (think: evidence-based visualization, narrative reframing, her signature âself-worth work,â and even color)âDr. Chopra offers a toolkit for navigating the chaos, uncertainty, and nuance of being humanâwithout losing yourself to it.
Grounded, practical, and poetic in all the right ways, this book will challenge your relationship with hope, rewire how you recover from hard things, and invite you to stay soft without falling apart. With her blend of intimate storytelling, psychological insight, and tangible toolsâincluding a 33-day Real Optimism ChallengeâDr. Chopra offers something far more enduring than a quick fix or fleeting affirmation. She invites us into a deeper, more resilient way of livingâone where we can stay curious in the face of fear, open in the face of grief, and grounded even as the world wobbles beneath us.
Because real optimism doesnât deny the darkâit teaches us how to see in it.
