- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Optimism can take you anywhere...choose to focus on what is right with the world vs. what is wrong. Bert's talk tells us that Life is good if you do what you like and like what you do.
Bert Jacobs is co-founder and Chief Executive Optimist of The Life is good Company. The Boston, MA-based lifestyle brand spreads the power of optimism and helps kids in need by donating 10 percent of its net profits to The Life is good Kids Foundation.

At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

My mom spends a lot of time talking about whats wrong and it makes me feel overwhelmed.
This is one of the best Ted talks I've heard! Simple and profound:')
That part about doing the laundry and gratitude made me cry 🥺he’s so right! Amazing talk, kind sir
Great talk, Bert. A lot of negativity and hate spreading in 2020. The message of optimism and gratitude is needed urgently.
Love this! With al the negativity and hate spreading optimism is needed so badly 💕
"Strategies for life" - I like that! We call it "a way of life" and that is all we talk about on our channel. Well done!
Great philosophy of how to live life and build a business.
Beautiful message! Thank you for sharing ❤
💚❤ This is so motivational! Its amazing how you could motivate people for years just by putting out one video: optimism! ❤💚
It is really sad when people conflate pessimism with realism or intelligence. Sure, optimism can lead to naive world views but I've also experienced people who's pessimism paralyzed them into inaction and apathy to the horrors of the world. Sadly the world can not change with just one. A combination of both views is realism.
I disagree. I don't think the combination is realism. I think we can look at the world realistically, stew on it, and spin things as positive as we can. That's still optimism. There's no reason to ignore the silver lining because it's so beautiful :)

POSITIVISMO!!!
Wow, that is all there is to it 🙂
Optimism & masks of in a pin box reality. Smiles on there face all the time they want to take your place. Lets be real optimism is the way to make your life better, but if you live in a poor neihboor hood it may be the only loney friend you have. Its taken years of optimism to change things like equality, Justice, so you cant give up on optimism, it take what ever time it takes to change things.
Great video man, awesome talk 🙂
I had to watch this video in High School for work ;-;
And decided to search up the channel name....
❤️🔥🤗
Best.
I have a hard time feeling this guys comfort with how good everything is in the world. Maybe he lives in his own world?
That's what perspective is, the world in which you live. Change the way you see something and you change what is.
we all live in our own world
@@Jiggy060532900 definitely in his own world. Just a t-shirt salesman
Always not moving in the wrong direction.
I actually have one of those tshirts.
Avoid the news good impacts motivation
Love give what you can NOT WHAT YOU CANT MORE LOVE IN GIVING you can smile encourage someone it will come back 3 fold God is a great giver imitate your father GIVE WHAT YOU CAN DONT FEED ON MEDIA BAD NEWS
I'm not to powerful of a optimist but Havent some people like faut cancer with this power?
Ignore this comment as this is a personal msg
For the other guy that idk the name,
You have lots of talents, so what are you being so scared of about the future? What are you really being so insecure about?
Idk what else to say to you, because you seem to twist every sentence that i say into something negative.
If i give you something to be optimistic about cuz its true, you interpret it as just giving you false hopes.
If i said "hope you're fine", you interpret it into something negative again
Maybe i should just stop saying anything
I just hope no one would be harmed. But of course, the more i mention it, the more you'll do the opposite. So whats the point of talking
I know you want me to feel some more emotions like being mad to you, but im realy not cuz im optimistic that things will be fixed too.
So idk what else to say. Idk really whats happening, im not sure what it really is. But pls dont harm anyone. You dont have to be scared of the future. You dont need to control everything. The more you control, the more things get messy for you and for us.
SIMPLE IS BETTER MAYBE IT WILL BE EASY TO GET A PHD THE POSSIBILITY IT WILL BE EASY DR WAYNE DYER

I'm not ABLE TO FACEBOOK husband's advice I must SUBMIT love you friend's ❤ 😘 💕 ♥ 💖 💗 ❤ 😘
Too many optimists, they don't see nothing bad. So bad things are happening and optimist don't see them. If you can't see bad things and try to change them, you encourage them. Word is going in wrong direction. If you don't see that you are just blind.
optimism is necessary to make a change. Most of the non-profit foundations exist because their founders believed they could change the world. Negative or "realistic" people think things are too bad to even try to fix it. Without optimism, you cant fix the world.
Wow this guy is way off hahaha i can't believe how blind this dude is
This guy literaly talks about he helps children, cmon man
Optimist is not blind, they are just walking towards the opposite direction and therefore, unable to see what you keep seeing as a pessimist. Peace!
The world is getting better, poverty rates are dropping rapidly worldwide, violent crime is much much lower than even the 90s. We are actually more equal than ever before, regardless of what the news would tell you.
Yet, Suicide rates are rising.
Maybe we have too many pessimists.
