SYSK Choice: Our Christmas Wish of Hope ...

About this episode

Want to look younger - dramatically younger? I begin this episode with 3 simple ways that change how people perceive you. If you do these things, you will instantly appear younger than your actual age. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21895379

Human beings are born to be hopeful. If you interact with any 2-year-old and you will see and hear nothing but hope in what they say and do. Yet as adults we sometimes lose hope. And that's never good. This holiday season, I want to share with you a conversation I had with Dr. Shane Lopez, author of the book Making Hope Happen (http://amzn.to/2j7su8N). Dr. Lopez was a leading researcher and authority on hope. Unfortunately, he died not long ago at the age of 46 but he left a message about hope that is so powerful.

 Doesn’t it seem that life would be easier if you had more courage? So how do you get more? Debbie Ford is about to tell you. Debbie was the author of the book Courage: Overcoming Fear and Igniting Self-Confidence (https://amzn.to/34MVudy) and she had a ton of courage. Debbie passed away a few years ago. Shortly before her death I had a chance to talk with her and I think you will find our conversation inspiring as we all prepare for the new year, 2022.
