What is Hope?Is it instinctive or learned? Is it necessary? And will it make us happy? Following her husband’s death on 9/11, author Nikki Stern struggled to reconcile uncertainty with an outlook at least cautiously optimistic. Her search has led her to a version of hope that rejects absolutes, accepts doubt, and thrives on the joy of possibility. By turns instructive and inspirational, Hope In Small Doses is a deeply moving counterpoint to the cult of anger, fear, and cynicism common to our times. Readers will find it practical, good-natured, and ultimately up-lifting. Original photography by Cherie Siebert. The book is a 2015 Eric Hoffer medal finalist for books that provoke, inspire, or redirect thought. It was also selected as BookWorks’ Book of the Week in November, 2017. |
