When it comes to bad news we've never had it so good.
Laurence Shorter is feeling anxious. Every time he turns on the radio or opens a newspaper he finds another reason to be tearful: global warming, the credit crunch, famine, human rights abuse, knife crime, earthquakes, nuclear proliferation.
It's time to make a change.
The Optimist charts Laurence's year-long quest for inner happiness. Can Desmond Tutu bring a smile to Laurence's face? Will he ride out the tide of pessimism with California's famous Surfing Rabbi? Or will it fall to the ultimate icon of optimism, Bill Clinton, to show Laurence the brighter side of life?
