Description
You can’t take a leap of faith without it. It lets you dream of a brighter future. And in a world worn down by political conflict, climate change, war, and other perils, many fear losing it. Pioneering psychologist William R. Miller looks at hope and its transformative potential in this concise, compassionate book. He identifies 8 different facets of hope that even die-hard pessimists can cultivate to clarify their goals, envision new possibilities, find purpose, enhance motivation, and persevere against formidable odds. Vivid personal stories, historical examples, and cutting-edge scientific findings reveal how choosing hope over fear can be a powerful force for change.
