You Be Hopeful Too is for anyone at work who is reaching towards something: a goal, a change, a better next chapter for themselves or their team.
It draws on research that treats hope as a learnable way of thinking with three parts: a clear goal, the willpower to move towards it, and the ability to find pathways, including a new route when one is blocked.
You receive a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. Each A4 card has a theme, a short description and an image on the front, and on the back a gathering of quotes from many voices and wisdom traditions, with room to write your own notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book with a clickable contents page and a dedication written for you. The themes include Goals, Willpower, Pathways, Optimism, Perception of Control, Problem-Solving Ability and Positive Affectivity, along with cards for meeting doubt, fear and worry.
On WorkSmart4Life it sits on the WorkSmart library shelf, and it is one of the editions The Edge can give as a level reward for practice in Sustain courses, the move about energy and recovery. The sales page suggests a clear order: start with goals, then build willpower, then pathways. So I suggest you begin with the purpose and goal-setting cards, and write on them what you are hoping for.
