Question: And are you generally optimistic or pessimistic about the way the world is headed?

Deepak Chopra: I’m neither. I like to think I’m a realist, that I’m neither optimistic nor pessimistic. But no matter what the situation is, I like to think that there’s a creative solution to it. And even if the creativity is not within me, I can harness the collective creativity to solve the problem.
