The Bright Side
In The Bright Side presenteert journalist Sumit Paul-Choudhury een revolutionaire zienswijze: optimisme is niet alleen aangeboren, het is ook van levensbelang. Zonder optimisme hadden we het niet gered in de onvoorspelbare en vaak vijandige wereld waarin we zijn geëvolueerd. Maar optimisme is niet uitsluitend voor extreme tijden. Het werkt ook door in het leven van alledag: in onze relaties, onze carrière, ons fysieke en mentale reilen en zeilen. En dat niet alleen, optimisme is onontbeerlijk om het hoofd te kunnen bieden aan de uitdagingen van deze tijd. The Bright Side is een krachtig pleidooi voor hoop, het biedt een broodnodig nieuw perspectief op de toekomst van de mensheid. Het laat zien hoe we met daadkracht, fantasie en positiviteit de oversteek naar de zonzijde kunnen maken, zelfs en vooral als de toekomst somber lijkt. ‘Paul-Choudhury schrijft geestig, empathisch en prachtig. (…) Dit boek biedt een boodschap van hoop. Het herinnert ons eraan dat er veel mogelijke wegen zijn om te bewandelen en dat positief denken over onze toekomst niet een naïeve bezigheid is, maar een krachtige gedeelde plicht. We worden geboren als optimisten, stelt Paul-Choudhury; als je dat niet meer bent, zal dit boek je weer tot één maken.’ The Guardian

The Bright Side
Wir sind optimistischer, als wir denken -- trotz Klimakrise, Krieg und künstlicher Intelligenz. Und zwar aus gutem Grund.Ohne Optimismus hätten wir als Spezies die unvorhersehbare Welt, in der wir uns im Laufe der Evolution weiterentwickelten, nie überlebt. Entgegen der herrschenden Meinung sind Optimist:innen damals wie heute die resilienteren Menschen. Sie leben nicht nur glücklicher, sondern auch länger, unabhängig von Geschlecht und Ethnie. Sumit Paul-Choudhury verbindet Forschungen aus Biologie, Psychologie und Neurowissenschaften zu einer neuen, fesselnden Geschichte über das Wesen des Menschen. Und er präsentiert Ideen, wie uns als optimistischen Individuen und Gesellschaften die Verbesserung der Welt gelingt. Ein erfrischender Perspektivwechsel, der unseren Blick auf uns und unsere Geschichte ebenso verändert wie auf die Zukunft, die vor uns liegt.

A GUARDIAN 'BOOK TO READ IN 2025'A WATERSTONES 'BEST PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT BOOK OF 2025''A truly inspirational and beautiful book with a powerful and timely message for today's society' - JIM AL-KHALILIOptimism, irrational though it might be, is central to the human psyche: it seems to give us an advantage both in everyday life and in the evolutionary race.What does Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic expedition have in common with the chicken that crossed the road? Or James Baldwin's campaign for civil rights with the development of AI? Or even Crossrail and George Bush's 'mission accomplished'?The Bright Side makes a vital and transformative new argument: that optimism is not only the natural state of humanity, but an essential one. Without optimism we would never have survived the unpredictable - and often hostile - world we evolved into. Yet optimism is not reserved for times of extremity.

And it will play a critical role in overcoming the challenges of the twenty-first century.In this book, astrophysicist-turned-journalist Sumit-Paul Choudhury offers practical suggestions on what it really takes to be an optimist today and, in doing so, provides a powerful manifesto for hope and a much-needed new perspective on our prospects. He shows how, by embracing action, imagination and possibility, we can find a path to the bright side, even - perhaps especially - when the future seems dark.Both realistic and revolutionary, The Bright Side is a guidebook for troubled times that will make you re-evaluate your habits and outlook.

The Bright Side
A reassuring look at the philosophy, psychology, and practice of optimism, and why being optimistic is a moral obligation--even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Scrolling through our daily newsfeeds we see violence and cruelty, turmoil and injustice, fake news and clickbait, and worsening environmental and social crises--just a few of the dark currents feeding a tidal wave of pessimism. In the face of so many challenges, how can we stay optimistic? And, more important, why should we? In The Bright Side, Sumit Paul-Choudhury answers these pressing questions, arguing that optimism is not only essential for overcoming the challenges we face, but also fundamental to human wellbeing. Drawing on a wide array of evidence--from biology to history, and from economics to meteorology--he delves into the underappreciated roots of optimism, examines its impact on mental health and professional success, and discusses why it has a power that wishful thinking lacks. Additionally, The Bright Side shows how we can apply the principles of optimism to cope with environmental crises, artificial intelligence, and social change. From the polar reaches to the world's mightiest cities, through inspirational figures including explorers, activists, and scientists, the book illustrates optimism in action. A beacon amid dark times, The Bright Side provides a lens through which we can see the challenges we face more clearly--and it also offers tools for solving them, to create a better future for ourselves and generations to come.
