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.
