People close to me have always commented on my sense of optimism and ability to see the best in a situation. This is not wilful ignorance or toxic positivity: I genuinely believe there is a rational basis for optimism. I spent the first few months of 2023 writing an article explaining my thinking on this subject. It was published on my clinic’s website. You can find it here:
