Sutter asks the big question: is being hopeful and positive the best way to live a life? He sets out to answer it in his own unique style and engaging commentary, cleverly picking apart his own experiences and the wisdom of great thinkers like Thich Nhat Hanh and Daniel Gottlieb, to create an antidote for fear and anxiety.

Is there a better way than being hopeful? Can we change our stories? Is optimism preventing us from living a good life? Should we bother dreaming about something better? Is hopelessness that bad? Sutter dissects these ideas in a fun and thought provoking way, making his listeners contemplate if there is a better way to create joy in their own lives.

Sutter finishes with a guided meditation and practice.
