Inspiring, encouraging or positive short novel (beehaw.org)

Hello,

I’ve been trying to keep my anxiety and negativity in check and have been looking for short novels that lean toward positive feelings. Something like “Star Trek The Next Generation”: inspiring, encouraging; even though there are difficulties we learn, adapt and make mistakes. But at the end we’ll make it and we’ll get out of it better than we got into it. 😅

Possibly sci-fi or scientific, or adventure (eg the Hornblower saga)

(Sorry couldn’t find a better way to describe it 😅)

Thank you for any suggestion!

Also, Startide Rising by David Brin is "Uplifting". It's about the first interstellar starship captained by a dolphin, with a dolphin and human crew.

They make a momentous discovery which puts them on the run from formidable alien fleets with the fate of all Earthlings hanging in the balance.
