What Would Ted Lasso Do?

It’s a niche topic, yes, but touching hit comedy series ‘Ted Lasso’, about a witty soccer manager who is well out of his depth, actually has a great deal of psychology worth discussing. In WHAT WOULD TED LASSO DO?, psychologist and show superfan Lucy Broadbent takes apart various scenes in the comedy as she sings the praises of Lasso himself. Being a fan of the show would certainly help significantly in following the narrative of this mini-book, but even for those who don’t relate so strongly, Broadbent’s scene descriptions and explanation of the psychology behind Lasso’s actions cover areas like the life changing impact of taking a positive stance, and how to boost confidence. The result is lightly academic, but also provides accessible ‘to do” lists, adding up, all in, to something of a Lasso fan self-help guide.
