Optimism isn’t about pretending everything is fine. Health psychologist Deepika Chopra and poetry sensation David Larbi explain how optimism can coexist with uncertainty and stress. They invite us to slow down, notice the joys woven into our days and engage with tangible tools helping to build habits to last a lifetime. Join them in an uplifting conversation with Olivia Jackson . There will be a book signing after this event. Get ahead of your Festival reading and visit the Waterstones Cheltenham Literature Festival bookshop and support Cheltenham Festivals with every purchase.
