Hope is an invisible constant in life. We hope for all kinds of things: good weather, promotions, finding a date, and winning the lottery. We start emails with a “hope all is well” comment. Yet what exactly is hope and how is it different than optimism? Though one of the least studied dimensions of well-being, the research on hope can be critical to our behaviors. The three elements of hope will be discussed as well as the one key word in helping hope happen. John McCarthy, Ph.D., is an international educator, author, and lecturer in Psychology.
