Tali Sharot : Le parti-pris de l'optimisme

Most people believe they are less likely than others to face misfortune and more likely to succeed, a phenomenon that persists across cultures and ages. Despite knowing the odds—like a 40 percent divorce rate—newlyweds routinely rate their own risk at zero. This innate optimism boosts happiness, anticipation, and even health, but it can also lead to risky decisions and poor planning. Recognizing this bias allows people to harness optimism’s benefits while guarding against its pitfalls.
