Summary:Having a positive outlook translates into a happier and healthier life -- and it's not as elusive as you might think. Though there is evidence that optimism has biological and genetic roots, research has shown that we can shape our attitude to see the best possible outcomes in life, cultivating happiness, gratitude, and resilience while reducing stress and anxiety.
