"I enjoyed learning about the science of hope and how powerful hope can be. I never considered hope to be a verb, so that was interesting. This book is a mix of research, personal stories, and self-help. The self-help part would be useful for anyone looking to lead a more hopeful life. But if you already practice meditation, mindfulness, and daily gratitude, there’s not much new here. <br/><br/>The book is not overly heavy on research, so I think it’s more accessible to the general reader than other research-oriented books geared to the general public. But there’s enough research to whet the appetite of those interested in the scientific study of hope. I particularly liked the parts about ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) and hope. <br/><br/>As a child who witnessed domestic violence, I was glad to learn of Casey Gwinn’s work to create Family Justice Centers. And kudos to Chan Hellman for his work to establish the Hope Research Center at OU and to make Tulsa a city of hope."
