      Your Daily Shot of Hope - Diane Silver

      We live in unsettling times. Hate appears to be ascendant. Bullying looks like the quickest path to success these days, at least in politics. And truth? Increasingly truth—the real thing based on facts and evidence—looks like an idea that is past its prime. For many of us, hope has become a fleeting memory. But can any of us survive for long without hope?

      If you are among the millions who have been thrown into despair by the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States, by the passage of Brexit in Great Britain, and the rise of authoritarianism and hate around the world, this book is for you. If you wonder how you can possibly keep fighting back, this book offers a place to rest, recharge, know that you are not alone, and remember that, yes, you do have the power to create change. If you are struggling with despair in your personal life, this book is also for you because ridiculous, cockeyed hope helps us heal. Hope fuels us. It enables us to go on.
