Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
People with optimism expect the best and accentuate the positive. This character strength can be seen in Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I have a dream" speech, in which he expressed his hope for future generations. This volume explores how optimism keeps people motivated despite adversity, demonstrates how readers can look for ways to see the glass as half-full, rather than half-empty, and explains why this ability is a marker for success.
