The Power of Positive Thinking

Overview

Welcome to Audio Learning from Assemble You.

Optimism is clearly associated with better psychological health, as seen through lower levels of depressed mood, anxiety, and general distress.

Most researchers at this point would also agree that optimism is connected to positive physical health outcomes, including decreases in the likelihood of re-hospitalization following surgery, the risk of developing heart disease, and mortality.

In this track, we aim to provide a better understanding of positive thinking, and we offer multiple key actionable techniques to train yourself to think more optimistically.
