Is it worth hoping? A survival plan in difficult times

Why do some people live with hope in their hearts, while others are mired in pessimism? Can hope help achieve life goals? And where can we find the strength to hope within ourselves?
Professor Charles Snyder dedicated many years to studying the psychology of hope. In his classic book, he explains how hope differs from optimism and why it helps in coping with failures more easily and achieving success. While intelligence and physical traits are largely genetically determined, the level of hope can be developed throughout our lives. You will learn about the character traits common to people with a high level of hope and understand how to cultivate them in yourself and instill them in your children. This scientifically based guide is for anyone wanting to strengthen their psychological resilience: to show flexibility in stressful situations, develop willpower through positive internal dialogue, manage stress, plan and achieve desired outcomes, and most importantly, approach everything with a sense of humor.
