You don’t just have to take our word about hope. There is a robust scientific field studying hope and all of the research keeps telling us the same thing: Hope is important. You can see the robust literature around the power of hope on our Hopeful Minds website here:
See the Research About Hope
You can also see the research surrounding the negative consequences of hopelessness here:
See the Research About Hopelessness
As you will see, the impact of hopelessness has far reaches in society and is especially high in vulnerable and disadvantaged populations, so we ask you to please help us spread it in those communities.
