To ‘hope’ for something, you must have a vision, and fuel it with both positive feelings and inspired actions. Without action, all you have is a wish.
The Science of Hope is based on years of research that shows hope predicts academic success above IQ, athletic performance beyond ability, recovery time from disease, safety in the workplace, connection with others, graduation likelihood from school, engagement on the job, and more. Hope is a known protective factor for anxiety, depression, addiction, and suicide.
