In 1988, two psychologists published an article arguing that positive self deception is a normal and advantageous part of most people life. It turns out people lied to themselves about three things : * they view themselves in implausibly positive way * they think they have far more control over their life than they actually do * and they believe the future will be better than the evidence of the present can possibly justify Is critical optimism deeply rooted in everyone of us ? Manu PS : Have you asked John Waters about critical optimism ? |
