(Show Notes: WOOP, the concept developed by researcher Gabriele Oettingen. Here is her website: https://woopmylife.org/en/science For more information on the Hope Circuit, check out Martin E.P. Seligman's work: https://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/news/hope-circuit-new-book-martin-ep-seligman) The Hope Circuit refers to the brain's ability to generate positive expectations and resilience. It activates when individuals feel control over their outcomes, in contrast to learned helplessness. This concept is key to Patty's work in helping people realize their potential through hope and action.)
