El efecto de la esperanza | Stephen Trzeciak, MD | TEDxCapeMay

La esperanza suele considerarse un sentimiento o un rasgo fijo. El médico e investigador Stephen Trzeciak la describe como una capacidad medible y entrenable. Con base en investigaciones revisadas por pares, la charla relaciona la esperanza con la salud, la longevidad, el rendimiento y la resiliencia tras la adversidad. Se presenta como una forma de pensar y actuar, no como optimismo ciego. La charla se dio en un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente.

Most people think of hope as a feeling or a trait—something you either have or you don’t. But three decades of peer-reviewed research point to something very different: hope is a measurable, trainable capacity that predicts health, longevity, performance, and resilience after adversity. It is not wishful thinking or blind optimism. It is a way of thinking and acting that can be strengthened in yourself and awakened in the people around you. Stephen Trzeciak, MD, is a physician-scientist and practicing intensivist who serves as the Edward D. Viner Endowed Chief of Medicine at Cooper University Health Care and Professor and Chair of Medicine at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University in southern New Jersey. A clinical researcher with 150 publications, his work has been published in JAMA, Circulation, and The New England Journal of Medicine, and has been supported by grants from the NIH and AHRQ. His research now focuses on the science of hope—how it works and how it can be built. His work has been featured on CNN, NPR, The Washington Post, Harvard Business Review, and Freakonomics. His mission is to show—through science—how hope improves outcomes that matter. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
