    About this ebook

    Introduction
    One of the main components of self-development and a primary skill of emotional intelligence is optimism. 

    Optimism is an important aspect of positive psychology – a branch of psychology that deals with how individuals can be happier. Our outlook on life is a very important aspect of our development as a person and a critical factor that is responsible for our overall growth and success in life. 

    People with a pessimistic outlook always find it more difficult to navigate through life than those who are optimistic.  They may find it difficult to advance in their chosen career or relationship. How we react to the failures and disappointments in our lives can shape many things. It can mean the difference between experiencing events in our lives as negative or positive. Our stress levels and health will be affected.

    This eBook will be discussing what optimism is all about. Its origin and definition. You will learn why it's important and how you can become a daily optimist. You'll see it's many potential benefits, and why cultivating an optimistic and positive outlook on life is essential to your wellbeing, relationships, and chosen career.

      Optimism – The Basics

      What is Optimism?

      You probably have that one friend who always remains cheerful, despite experiencing adverse events or disappointments in their life. Perhaps there were times when they faced problems that might have made them bitter, angry or depressed. But, instead, they always see the silver lining.

      Though they may have had many difficulties and challenges, like losing a job, they still forge ahead through life with their heads held high. They look forward to each passing day with high expectation. These people are known as optimists. They always seem to find the good in any situation and anticipate only favorable things.

      Optimism is a mindset that we can all cultivate to enable us to cope with life’s many challenges. It is a compelling and attractive quality to possess. Optimism derives from the Latin word Optimus, meaning best, and translates as the inclination to believe, expect, or hope that things will ultimately turn out for good.

      A study into the field of positive psychology reveals a lot about the positive impact that being optimistic has on our mental health. Psychologists see optimism as a personality trait, which invariably means that it is stable to some extent and consistent over time. There have also been reports from other research studies highlighting its many benefits to our physical health as well. Optimists have been proven to have a longer lifespan, and they also fall sick less often than pessimists. 

      An optimist believes that their happiness is their sole responsibility and that they can expect more positive things to happen in the future. They don’t allocate any blame to themselves when bad events happen. Rather they see these bad events as the consequences of something that is separate from them and has nothing to do with
