Optimism -the Facts! (part 2)

And here is the prediction/ discussion from 21st December 2011

The first shall be last

In blogs, the first post is at the very end. For those of you who want to see how these interviews with Mark started, click here for the first post (which was Mark's review of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
From there, you can go through the 10 reviews Mark did with me in 2011 and see in order how the process of reviewing/interviewing changed some things for both of us.
If you aren't going to make the time to see this unfolding of character and how we give meaning to the world through our opinions, please just use the navigation tools on the left hand side to pick out the topics you are interested in & just watch those reviews (interrupted sometimes by Paul Crosland).

Optimism -the Facts

Mark sees this as a savage attack; I find it to be a brilliant 'must do' idea.
