Description: How to Be Hopeful by Bernadette Russell How do we find hope? And how do we hold onto it? This kind and compassionate book leads the way. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description How to be Hopeful is a celebration of hope: an essential and courageous thing to envisage, create and connect with in our everyday lives. It shows us the places we can look for hope – in nature, art, the kindness of strangers, our own actions – and ways to keep it alive through the challenges life throws at us. Starting with how we find hope in ourselves, this book will also shine a light on how we can embrace and develop hope in our communities, the wider world and in our future. Exploring scientific, philosophical and spiritual perspectives on hope throughout the centuries and today, How to Be Hopeful is the essential book for our times.
