Oh no I did not know. Hope having different sides to it is surprising but I am glad I understood the author's point. There is a deeper meaning to hope and it is satisfying.

This is the one thing that has attracted me towards this book and made me pick it up. I've just finished reading a book on manifesting, and one of the things that it requires is to remove doubt and fear. 'Hope' is the one thing that eliminates these things, and I'm glad I'll finding out about it more!!

I had often heard about hope being spoken about, but I would always brush it off thinking that it never works. After reading this book, I have understood that hope can be used in different places including our workplaces.

I never thought of hope in that way. The book dispelled many of the myths I had about hope and presented some hard-hitting facts about life. It broke down different parts and functions of hope and even showed how to reverse engineer hope for different types of people according to what they believe in. It was a fresh perspective that I needed to hear.

I have never contemplated hope, I’ve never set it aside and thought about it; it has always been as natural and un-thought provoking as breathing. Something bad happens, well let’s hope things get better. Now I think about the word, and I realise that it’s more substantial then before.

Hmm, I will say not really but after reading this novel, I got a different perspective or better still, hope gets explained in a different way.

This newfound understanding prompts me to appreciate the power of hope as a driving force for personal growth, navigating challenges, and fostering a positive outlook on life. The book provided insights that not only dispelled skepticism but also sparked a deeper appreciation for the transformative potential inherent in embracing hope.

It's fascinating how a shift in perspective can redefine our understanding. Exploring the nuances of hope beyond misconceptions has the power to broaden our outlook and bring a deeper appreciation for its multifaceted nature.

I really didn't, and it surprised me. To really dissect 'hope', you have to think long and hard about the word, which is difficult. Dr Randy Ross has done all the hard work for us and laid down his explanations and strategy in easy terms for us to absorb.

No, I didn't know the many sides of hope until I read this book. It was really eye-opening. I'm glad that I'm trying to apply what I've learned in this book concerning hope and why I should cultivate it.

Honestly, I thought of hope as a passive thing. You hope whether you put in the effort or not, but that in his words is just wishing. The hope as he presents it is something I can get behind.
