Introduction
Where On Earth Are We Going
From: Intrinsic Hope
$1.90
In this book, I propose the idea of “intrinsic hope.” Intrinsic hope is different from conventional hope because it is not based on the expectation that life will give us what we hope for. Instead, intrinsic hope is a deep, abiding trust in whatever happens and in the human capacity to respond to it positively. It accepts life just as it is and works with it, whether or not it’s what we want. As one of my students said, “It’s about making the best of any situation and never, ever giving up.”
