What’s inside the guide
Six parts. One formula.
A complete map of how your mind works.
Each section builds on the one before it. By the end you’ll have a clear picture of where, specifically, you might be stuck.
Part 01
Experience
Every experience is completely neutral until you assign it meaning. This is where the formula begins — and where most people lose control without realizing it.
Part 02
The Story You Tell Yourself
The moment you give an experience meaning, a story begins. Most of it is fiction — and every time you remember something, you rewrite it.
Part 03
The words you use daily (in your self-talk, conversations, even the songs you sing) are building your reality. They reinforce beliefs you didn’t consciously choose.
Part 04
The Wall
Between pessimism and optimism sits an invisible barrier nobody in personal development talks about. It’s not a mindset problem — it’s an energy problem.
Part 05
The formula isn’t a straight line — it’s a loop. Your language and stories don’t just describe your experiences. They loop back and shape the next ones you attract.
Part 06
Your Next Step
Understanding the map is the beginning, not the destination. This section shows you exactly how to go further — at whatever pace makes sense for you right now.

You can’t have an optimistic future if you don’t let go of your traumatic past. Not detach from it — let go of it. Completely.

About the author
DAVID MITRAN
Every meaningful shift begins with a question. Mine was simple: “What if I shared the way I see the world?”
I’m a strategic marketing leader and ICF-certified executive coach with over a decade of working with executives, entrepreneurs, and individuals navigating real turning points. The Optimism Formula came out of two years of research in positive psychology and neuroscience — combined with what I kept observing in coaching: people who understood everything about optimism, and still couldn’t live it.
What I do isn’t about trends or techniques. It’s about alignment. It’s about creating with intention.
