Hope in the Age of Anxiety ReviewTo be honest, I thought this book started out a little slow, but I was soon pleased by a series of nice surprises. Focusing on hope and its correlates (including faith, spirituality, and values), the authors tap a very wide variety of resources (including literature, films, philosophy, music, anthropology, psychology, sociology, and religion). Fundamentals of a variety of belief systems are artfully woven throughout the book, including but not limited to Christianity, Buddhism, African, Australian aboriginal tribes, Aztec, and Native American beliefs. Their definition of hope includes a four-channel emotional network of mastery, attachment, survival, and spiritual subsystems. Fairly heavy reading at times, this book is not a simplistic self-help book, although self-help recommendations are among the pleasant surprises that keep appearing. There is a prolonged and interesting discussion of the development of a sense of hope, faith and spirituality, as well as a chapter dealing with promoting hope in children. The authors discuss "eight centers of value" (Higher Power, nature, social customs, economics, diversity and equality, science, the self, and others). There is also a discussion of "spiritual types" (follower, collaborator, independent, mystic, reformer, and sufferer), and there is a brief assessment (18 items) of the types. This is one of few books I've encountered that speaks directly to the importance of "time mastery" (optimal use of the time available to me). The book concludes with two chapters related to the links between hope and medicine/health. As I noted above, fairly heavy reading at times, but well worth it for a balanced and positive multivariate perspective concerning hope.Hope in the Age of Anxiety OverviewWant to learn more information about Hope in the Age of Anxiety?
