Research published in the journal Nature reveals that most humans have what’s called a “pervasive optimism bias.” In other words, most of us are naturally (and arguably illogically) optimistic about things in life. This is in spite of the fact that the evidence suggests otherwise.
For example, roughly 40 to 50 percent of married couples living in the United States will get divorced. However, most people remain optimistic that they will not become just another statistic, although the facts suggest we should all at least be concerned about it.
“Humans expect positive events in the future even when there is no evidence to support such expectations,” the study found. People also have the tendency to believe that they will live longer and be healthier than the average person. They “overestimate their prospects for success on the job market,” as well.
Do our brains naturally project unrealistic optimism?
