Hope Rising: How the Science of Hope Can Change Your Life Kindle Edition


Learn to overcome trauma, adversity, and struggle by unleashing the science of hope in your daily life with this inspiring and informative guide.

Hope is much more than wishful thinking. Science tells us that it is the most predictive indicator of well-being in a person’s life. Hope is measurable. It is malleable. And it changes lives. In
Hope Rising, Casey Gwinn and Chan Hellman reveal the latest science of hope using nearly 2,000 published studies, including their own research. Based on their findings, they make an impassioned call for hope to be the focus not only of our personal lives, but of public policy for education, business, social services, and every part of society.

Hope Rising provides a roadmap to measure hope in your life. It teaches you to assess what may have robbed you of hope, and then provides strategies to let your hope flourish once again. The authors challenge every reader to be honest about their own struggles and end the cycle of shame and blame related to trauma, illness, and abuse. These are important first steps toward increasing your Hope score—and thriving because of it.

Heard about this book from a leadership meeting I attended at the end of the year. The theme was hope and I’m so happy I read this book. So many reminders and actionable steps for the upcoming school year.

I have been on a long journey learning about hope; the framework presented by Casey and Chan is the final piece of the puzzle that I have been trying to solve. I have loved learning about the science of hope and it has already begun to change the way I think and how I approach life. The stories of trauma shared in the book were sometimes heavy to read about and so I had to take a few breaks while reading, but I am so grateful for this book and for everything I have learned from it!

Have attended conferences where author(s) introduce hope as a learnable, life changing practice and the book goes into much greater detail and offers many examples of acheiving high hope to live the life you choose.
