WEBINAR 8 Ways to Hope: Charting a Path Through Uncertain Times with Dr. William R. Miller
Submit the form to register now Hope is an experience that every human being knows, but what is it actually? Just wishful thinking? In preparing to write his latest book, psychologist Dr. William R. Miller found that hope is really an inter-related set of eight different experiences we can have when the future is uncertain. That’s why his book is called Eight Ways to Hope: Charting a Path through Uncertain Times. "They are like different facets of the same diamond," Miller says, "all of which involve anticipating a better future." But what about false hope? Doesn’t that just set us up for disappointment? False hope, he says, is merely one limited way of thinking about hope as probability, "but in a larger sense there is no such thing as false hope. The ways in which we choose to hope (or not) can and do shape the future." In this interview-style webinar, Dr. Miller explains these eight different ways of hoping and urges us, when in doubt, to “Choose Hope!”
