00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.689
hey this is going to be an animated book
review of the book learned optimism by

00:00:03.689 --> 00:00:09.340
Martin Seligman imagine two boxes there
is a dog in each box is dogs get shocked

00:00:09.034 --> 00:00:13.333
randomly the one dog can jump out of the
box the other dog is stuck in the box no

00:00:13.639 --> 00:00:17.230
matter what he does he cannot get out of
the box that we take this to same dogs

00:00:17.023 --> 00:00:20.039
and put them in boxes and shock then you
know what happened

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.126
the dog that could get out before
learned that he could jump out of the

00:00:23.026 --> 00:00:26.285
box the other dog however is that
there's nothing you can do so he just

00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:30.560
lays down in this is called learned
helplessness and then dogs mind there's

00:00:30.929 --> 00:00:34.880
nothing he can do that will help him out
of the situation and you can see this in

00:00:34.088 --> 00:00:37.677
people's lives to when they learned that
whatever they do has no outcome of the

00:00:38.469 --> 00:00:41.770
environment they just start crying so
let's take a look at optimists and

00:00:41.077 --> 00:00:45.276
pessimists optimist generally achieve
more they have better health they live

00:00:45.969 --> 00:00:49.390
longer and harder Martin slimming
actually found that there is a reduced

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.978
chance for cancer in optimist pessimist
on the other hand give up more

00:00:53.329 --> 00:00:56.402
frequently are more prone to depression
and have a mindset that they hate life

00:00:57.059 --> 00:01:01.210
in fact pessimists are more likely to
get ill after a bad event because there

00:01:01.021 --> 00:01:04.104
are hormones they connect the mindset of
the person to their immune system and a

00:01:05.004 --> 00:01:09.039
negative mindset to cause a negative
immune system and find out what causes

00:01:09.039 --> 00:01:12.083
pessimism we look at someones
explanatory style and this is her legs

00:01:12.083 --> 00:01:15.102
plena situation when something goes
wrong when there is an adversity when

00:01:16.002 --> 00:01:20.057
something bad happens a pessimist would
say I'm never gonna get this it's always

00:01:20.057 --> 00:01:24.095
my fault I'm just stupid I'm just bad at
it to an optimist would say all one day

00:01:24.095 --> 00:01:25.834
eventually I'll learn how to do it

00:01:26.689 --> 00:01:29.753
a deal is it wasn't the right time to
learn next time it was definitely their

00:01:30.329 --> 00:01:34.351
fault that thing that separates these is
that pessimists rely on permanent

00:01:34.549 --> 00:01:38.500
pervasive and personal statements it is
permanent because they believe that it

00:01:38.005 --> 00:01:39.029
will happen for ever

00:01:39.074 --> 00:01:42.078
is pervasive because they believe that
it is a trait is personal because they

00:01:43.014 --> 00:01:46.313
believe it's all their fault and the
environment had nothing to do with it an

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.590
optimist on the other hand always keep
an open mind and says that maybe one day

00:01:49.059 --> 00:01:51.878
they'll get it they're not pervasive
they say it is a situation and they're

00:01:52.409 --> 00:01:53.110
not personal

00:01:53.011 --> 00:01:56.052
realize that it's the environment is
causing the failure there's also a quote

00:01:56.052 --> 00:02:00.127
I really like it is people who believe
themselves stupid rather than uneducated

00:02:01.027 --> 00:02:05.696
don't take action to improve their mind
and that is some cultures believe that

00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:08.690
when you're growing up stupid is a
characteristic trait that cannot be

00:02:08.069 --> 00:02:11.143
changed because you're raising children
that think something they do is from

00:02:12.043 --> 00:02:15.182
bad character something that is
permanent one ever try to change it he

00:02:15.569 --> 00:02:19.180
also says that a person who believes
they can change their thinking will

00:02:19.018 --> 00:02:22.247
because changing our thinking is a
self-fulfilling prophecy if you think

00:02:22.409 --> 00:02:25.464
you can you will you need to find
balance there were a few studies Martin

00:02:25.959 --> 00:02:28.990
Seligman found in this book that
actually showed that pessimists see the

00:02:29.269 --> 00:02:33.500
world more like it is an optimist see it
as better than it is he says that the

00:02:33.005 --> 00:02:36.081
best thing you can say about a pessimist
is that his fears are founded should aim

00:02:37.026 --> 00:02:41.053
for balance at stake in accounting for
example what if they overlook they say

00:02:41.053 --> 00:02:45.182
will have enough money for this month
they're being overly optimistic and it

00:02:45.659 --> 00:02:48.734
may cause a lot of trouble or gambling
for example doctor sullivan also found

00:02:49.409 --> 00:02:52.498
he could predict insurance salesman
better than MetLife the Metropolitan

00:02:53.299 --> 00:02:56.590
Life Insurance Company he said that
there are three things that determine

00:02:56.059 --> 00:03:01.064
the success of someone that his attitude
motivation and optimism he said that

00:03:02.009 --> 00:03:06.188
MetLife only tested for attitude and
motivation and he said that by testing

00:03:06.269 --> 00:03:09.930
optimism could predict successful
insurance salesman better than that life

00:03:09.093 --> 00:03:12.382
can I want to say that there is actually
a test you can take in this book to

00:03:13.219 --> 00:03:17.650
enter I think it's around 50 questions
and then you add scores in a min rate

00:03:17.065 --> 00:03:20.984
you on an optimist and pessimism scale
