Another one of the short, concise TED books, this time giving you the overview of what is being called the Optimism bias. It'll give you some of the latest information about research into this phenomena. Unfortunately I'm not very optimistic at this point of my life; however, the good news according to the research is that it'll get better soon.


Plenty of jumping off points with the notes to let you find more reading material on this subject.
