Lenny Ravich: Drag It or Dance It Like an Optimist
In this joyful episode of That Optimism Man, Victor Perton speaks with Lenny Ravich in Israel, author of Everlasting Optimism: 9 Principles for Success, Happiness and Powerful Relationships. Lenny is an optimism teacher, humourist, keynote speaker, educator and director of the Gestalt Institute of Tel Aviv. His work brings together Gestalt awareness, humour, creativity and laughter. At 90, Lenny is a living example of his message: greet people warmly, laugh before you feel like laughing, choose love over fear, and learn to dance with life rather than drag it. Victor and Lenny explore what it means to be optimistic in serious times, how laughter changes how we feel and relate, why positive self-talk matters, and how small acts of warmth can lift both giver and receiver.

The Question That Changes Almost Every Conversation
What is one question that can change almost every conversation? In this episode, Victor Perton shares a simple practice that helps lift energy and foster optimism. Replace “How are you?” with “What’s been the best thing in your day so far?” and notice what happens. The conversation often becomes warmer, more real, and more hopeful. With stories from everyday life, leadership, and meetings, Victor shows how a better question can help people feel seen, strengthen connection, and create a more optimistic tone.
