You cant 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 takes a fresh look 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 in order to clarify their goals, envision new possibilities, find purpose, enhance motivation, and persevere against tough odds. Vivid personal stories, historical examples, and cutting-edge scientific findings reveal how choosing hope over fear can be a powerful force for change.
