Developing Optimism

In this lesson, Brian shares the importance of cultivating optimism as a foundation for achieving success and overcoming challenges in your career and life.

This lesson covers:

  • How optimism, rooted in effort and persistence, is essential for progress, as demonstrated by Brian's own journey from addiction to engineering manager
  • The negative impact of social media on optimism, as it skews reality by focusing on extremes rather than everyday successes
  • Practical strategies for maintaining optimism, such as keeping a tech journal to track your progress and reinforce your belief in your ability to improve and succeed
