For anyone who thinks hope is a passive 'wishing for' emotion, here's another reminder that it is the opposite. There's a book about Nick Cave called 'Faith, Hope, and Carnage' in which he talks about the grief of losing two sons. In this moving clip, he talks about Hope as the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism.

The book is now available on Kindle and we've made it just 99p (99c in US) on launch day (8th December) to help get the book out there! Hope is the number one thing people say they want from leaders and this book helps leaders to meet that need.
Please consider buying this either for yourself or you can click 'buy as a gift' to buy either one copy or get redemption links for multiple copies (and maybe even share this post). Thank you!

Optimism and Hope are related concepts; The words often get used interchangeably, but that's wrong. They are different things, and Shane Lopez does a great job of differentiating between them.

Most people say that hope is not a strategy. We fundamentally disagree. In fact, we disagree so strongly that we wrote a book about it. Here's why....
