Staying Optimistic Systematically and Rigorously: Dr. Rajiv J. Shah
"If the definition of optimism is believing the world can be a better place in the future, than the discipline of staying optimistic requires you to systematically, rigorously, and repeatedly take the steps to make it so."
Rajiv introduces the 'aspiration trap', cautioning that even the most optimistic individual, even the most radiant source of hope, can witness that flame flicker. They can transition from being a beacon of light to a downer. "That's the peril of the aspiration trap."
He sets out four ways out of the aspiration trap.
One, set audacious goals.
Two, keep searching for solutions.
Third, forge alliances.
Fourth, measure progress.
