Book Overview
People--especially Americans--are by and large optimists. They're much better at imagining best-case scenarios (I could win the lottery ) than worst-case scenarios (A hurricane could destroy my neighborhood ). This is true not just of their approach to imagining the future, but of their memories as well: people are better able to describe the best moments of their lives than they are the worst.
