Why I’m an optimist

I’m happy to see this recent research in the MIT Sloan Management Review that confirms one of my long-held beliefs about the power of optimism, especially in the job search.  Interestingly, I took part in this research when I was at Fuqua from 2005-2007.

This research complements a recent blog post by Anthony Tjan in the Harvard Business Review that gives some good tips on how to make luck work in your favor.
