Psychologist - Professor - Author - Speaker

David B. Feldman, PhD is a psychologist, professor, author, speaker, former host of KPFA Radio's ‘About Health,’ and current host of the 'Psychology in 10 Minutes' podcast. His research on how people maintain hope and meaning in the face of trauma, loss, and setbacks has been published in top academic journals and featured in major media outlets. He is a pioneer in applying the concept of hope (and hopelessness) to understanding burnout among healthcare professionals and has been instrumental in developing hope-enhancement interventions. Dr. Feldman has published five books, appeared on national television and radio, lectured for companies, universities, and organizations around the world, and writes regularly for Psychology Today.
Life is full of enormous challenges, and our world can sometimes feel like it’s falling apart. Most people wouldn’t use the word “hopeful” to describe the times we’re living in. Instead, words like horrific or tragic come to mind. Yet, in dire times, hope may be more relevant than ever. Without it, how can we ever face our problems and find a way forward? In this TEDx talk, I share the stories and science behind hope, and argue that it's important never to give up on this crucial psychological and spiritual asset.
