Are You a Pessimist or a Optimist?

I believe in the book you say that the left hemisphere tends to be more optimistic and also more incorrect. So maybe as my final question, where are you on the spectrum of optimism to pessimism? Good question. I mean, I often call myself a hopeful pessimist, which is to say that my assessment is that things are not going well, but I'm always hopeful. In all those senses, I'm not too pessimistic. But I also think it's very important to be hopeful.
