When everything is going well, hope is not so relevant. In times of trauma and uncertainty, hope can shine its brightest light. This session will uncover the science of Hope: What is hope? What are its benefits, pitfalls, and limitations? The objective effect of hope on successful outcomes and longevity. How do we sustain hope in challenging times? And does hope even matter at this time?
