Pessimism vs. Optimism Who's got it right?

The Really Very Crunchy Podcast

In this episode, Emily and Jason dive into the eternal battle of glass-half-full vs. glass-half-empty. Jason channels his inner realist (or pessimist, depending on who you ask), while Emily’s sunny optimism shines through. But here’s the twist—studies show the truth isn’t as simple as you’d think! Does optimism really lead to happiness, or do pessimists have the edge in facing life’s challenges? They debate, they laugh, and they uncover surprising research that might just make you rethink your outlook.
