Need a little inspiration? Discover how Ted Lasso’s 'Believe' sign can motivate you in your own life, how you can learn to be optimistic and resilient like Ted, and how his core beliefs could even help you live longer. This humorous, easy-to-listen to guide reveals the psychology behind Ted’s life lessons. It’s like having Ted Lasso as your very own life coach.

Ted Lasso has made millions laugh in Apple TV+’s hit comedy, but there is more to the show than just feel-good humor. Ted’s heart-warming philosophies are rooted in the Positive Psychology Movement and take audiences into the world of self-help, sometimes unknowingly. Remember when Ted told Sam to ‘Be a goldfish’ because it has a short memory. Confucius bequeathed his own version: “To be wronged is nothing, unless you continue to remember it.” And remember Ted’s soliloquy during his darts match against Rupert reminding us to be ‘curious, not judgmental’. Many research studies have proven that being curious leads to emotional well-being, better relationships, and higher levels of achievement.

Through plausibly real and difficult situations on the TV show, we see how Ted turns negatives into positives, adversity into acceptance, selfish behavior into self-aware behavior. He ensures we understand that it’s how we react to difficult situations that can make a difference between coming out smiling or not. Mixing TV fandom with psychology, celebrity journalist Lucy Broadbent unearths the wisdom behind Ted’s life lessons, explaining its value and offering tricks to help all of us lead happier, healthier, kinder lives, the Ted Lasso way.

It has some good points despite being almost unrailed by the myth of "Toxic Masculinity". Pick and choose what resonates with you but beware fostering snowflakes.
