An Optimistic Perspective on Society for Realists: Why We Are Happier When We Face the World with Confidence In everyday life, we often assume the worst towards others without wanting it or being aware of it. Social media and increasing isolation contribute to the fact that we quickly see the world around us in the worst light. This has consequences: mental health and relationships suffer, depression and loneliness increase. But what if the world is much better than we assume? Based on scientific studies and social experiments, psychotherapist Sina Haghiri shows what our negative view of others is based on, how we become aware of them and what we can do about it. He explains how we can specifically strengthen our ability to empathize and why this makes us happier people. Because empathy not only helps us to understand others better, but also ourselves.
