Did you know that hope is measurable, malleable, and cultivable?

In the research done on trauma, illness, and resiliency, hope is the most predictive indicator of well-being in a person's life. Based on nearly 2,000 published studies about hope--including their own research--Casey Gwinn and Chan Hellman call for rising hope to be the focus not only in personal lives, but in public policy for education, business, social services, and every other part of society.
