The Pocket Optimist
The Pocket Optimist is a personalized service designed to help individuals challenge and overcome self-limiting pessimism. Based on the groundbreaking research of Dr. Martin Seligman, Dr. Peter Schulman, and Dr. Albert Ellis, the process involves an in-depth interview and analysis of how clients explain events along the dimensions of internality, stability, and globality, resulting in a customized optimism report. Follow-up sessions guide clients in integrating insights into their daily lives. Ideal for athletes, professionals, coaches, therapists, and therapy-goers, The Pocket Optimist transforms how individuals approach life's challenges, helping them live more realistically and optimistically.
