00:00Traditionally, it's been believed that those who are intelligent, profound, cultured, and
00:10reflective tend to lean toward pessimism.
00:13Life, after all, can seem like a relentless struggle, leading to the perception that optimists
00:19are simply idealists viewing the world through rose-colored glasses.
00:24Consequently, pessimists have often been seen as more intriguing than their optimistic counterparts.
00:30However, this notion is gradually losing its grip.
00:35Firstly, the ability to manage emotions and cultivate optimism is increasingly recognized
00:40as an indicator of intelligence.
00:43Secondly, history has shown that pessimists often miss the mark, as the world continues
00:48to improve, despite its occasional setbacks.
00:52To illustrate this, Maria Dolores Avia and Carmelo Vasquez have authored Intelligent
00:57Optimism.
01:00This book isn't about finding the happiest place on earth or similar clichés.
01:05Instead, it delves into how our brains process happiness, debunking the idea that unhappiness
01:11is synonymous with intelligence.
01:14Inspired by Intelligent Optimism, we've explored topics like the myth of human rationality
01:20and man is probably not free and never will be.
