What did you like the most about this book?
I love the concept of hope being a strategy that we can constructively activate with the researched methods and guidelines provided in this book.
I love the numerous stories provided in the book of people and organizations from all spheres of life, used to substantiate the effects of hope.
The quotes beautifully enhance the messages of these stories and the conclusions of the value of hope in driving our potential growth in existence.
I love this piece of text from page 215, I feel it clarifies the true essence and capabilities of hope as a strategy in the reality of life as a field of gameplay :
"You will experience hardships, setbacks, and loss. It’s part of the package. But when you do, remember this: The depth of your grief is inversely proportionate to the height of your joy. This is true whether it relates to the death of a loved one or the death of a dream. The greater the love, the greater the loss. You can’t have one without the other. That’s life. That’s the deal. A well-lived life is not without losses or challenges. A well-lived life flows from a solid core of values and is created by good choices and responsible living. It does not avoid grief and loss. Rather it seeks and celebrates deeper love and greater joy."
Thank you

I like the compelling nature. A compelling nonfiction book not only hinges on a great concept for achieving happiness but is elevated by the author's adept conversational style, creating an engaging and enjoyable reading experience.Oleabhiele Joseph wrote: ↑06 Dec 2023, 01:49 The approach. Then the conversational method of writing. That’s what makes any nonfiction book appealing. If the author is someone who doesn’t flow with words, that kills any momentum to read on. But a great book with a great concept on how to achieve a high state of happiness, told by someone with a great conversational spirit, yes,that’s what makes this book more interesting.
