LA 383 - Power of Optimism

Credits 1
Based on the premise that optimism is a skill that can be learned, students acquire background knowledge in the psychology of optimism, understand their own optimist/ pessimist tendencies in light of those definitions and leave with specific, practical skills for engaging the strategies of successful optimists. Final study is highly application-oriented and focuses on harnessing the power of optimism, with particular emphasis on how to do so in the workplace and on the role of faith in maintaining hope.
