Incorporating research and expertise from psychologists, celebrity journalist Lucy Broadbent argues that Ted Lasso is not just a TV character, but a cleverly disguised self-help guru out to inspire his tv audiences.
Co-written and starring Jason Sudeikis, Ted Lasso has made television history in terms of awards but also its message of positivity and kindness. That message is trumpeted in Lucy Broadbent’s book, picking up on themes which stem directly from the Positive Psychology Movement.
Generosity is wholly part of who Ted Lasso is. His core belief is that all people are worthy. Dozens of papers have been published by psychologists on how performing acts of generosity and seeing others as worth can boost our own happiness.
Exploring other themes like self-efficacy, optimism, curiosity, and toxic masculinity, the book shows how far the reach of a TV character can go beyond the boundaries of the screen. It leaves its readers happy and inspired, just like the show itself.
What Would Ted Lasso Do? How Ted’s Positive Approach Can Help You, by Lucy Broadbent, (Uncommon Publishing) is now available on Amazon as an ebook, and paperback.
