Optimism isn’t just a feel-good mindset—it is a critical tool for resilience under pressure. After returning home from Vietnam POW captivity, Paul Galanti often spoke on the power of optimism, sharing: “Truly believing that ‘It’s all going to work out’ will give you the faith and dedication to make it work out.”

In fact, psychologists identified optimism as the most important factor in Vietnam POW survival and long-term mental health. That same unwavering hope enabled his wife, Phyllis, to endure nearly seven years apart—and it sustained their marriage for the rest of their lives.

In Captured by Love, co-author Greg Godek and I share the inspiring true love stories of 20 Vietnam War POWs and their wives. From women who altered American foreign policy to single men who met their lifelong partners after returning home, these couples offer profound lessons in faithfulness, passion, and resilience.
