Did any UK peeps watch this program? Despite the slightly hyperbolic title, I thought it gave a good insight into what drives optimism and pessimism, and how it may be possible to change your current tendencies in this area.
Michael Mosely, the presenter, is a long term sufferer from insomnia due to anxious thoughts, and he apparently found the recommended techniques helpful. The program went into disappointingly little detail on what exactly had changed for him, but he certainly said he was sleeping better after years of unsuccessfully trying to conquer his insomnia (including years of study about the nature of sleep).
The program is still available on BBC iPlayer if anyone wants to see it.
