Radical Optimism is a philosophy that argues for looking at the good in every part of life, based on reason and evidence.

Radical Optimism was created in 2014, although I don't have time to keep it updated.

Major influences for this website include:

• The Improving State of the World by Indur Goklany
• The Consolations of Philosophy by Alain De Botton
• The Rational Optimist by Matt Ridley
• The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker
• Anger, Mercy, Revenge by Lucius Annaeus Seneca
• Philosophers' Mail
• Matt Ridley's Blog
• Authentic Happiness at the University of Pennsylvania
• Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

The book Radical Optimism by Beatrice Bruteau has nothing to do with this website.
