The Optimistics is an inspiring true story of three strangers, Dennis, Mike, and Jim, all battling Young-Onset Dementia, who became brothers through their incurable illness. Forming a bond of optimism with one another, they dubbed themselves "The Optimistics" as a way to share positivity through the Alzheimer's community. Their heartwarming mantra towards dementia created an echo chamber across the country allowing others to call themselves Optimistics. Each chapter focuses on Frieman's emotional experience of a nearly two-year journey interviewing dozens of care partners and individuals with dementia across the country to share their unbreakable desire to remain optimistic. This is not just a story about optimism, it's a diary of love, hope, family, devotion, and understanding why time is important.

"If you can live a life to love a life than life itself has been worth living." - Doug, THE OPTIMISTICS
