Does optimism create happiness?

Lynn Ianni (Psychotherapist) gives expert video advice on: How do thought patterns affect happiness?; Do happy people think differently from unhappy people?; What are some characteristics of depressed thinking? and more...

I think that optimism does generate happiness. I think it's the neutral framing, positively framing something neutral that really allows you to the world, the best in the world, the best in yourself and the best in others. And that generally will give you a feeling of well-being. And also the spiritual foundation of, "I'm here for a reason, I'm ok, I'm doing my best and I deserve to, as I'm learning, as I'm growing, you know this is a school room, and the more I learn the more I grow the more I will be fulfilled, satisfied, the more I will benefit others and somewhere, someday I will be somewhere else that's going to be even a better growth experience for me than this one."
