Publisher's summary

Cultivate hope with strengths-based practices grounded in positive psychology.

If you suffer from depression, subclinical depression, or low mood, you may have days where you feel like you've lost hope - hope that you'll ever feel better, that the world will be a better place, or that you'll someday find the happiness that always seems to elude you. You aren't alone. Many people struggle with feelings of sadness and hopelessness - especially in our difficult, modern world. The good news is that you can change.

Learned Hopefulness offers powerful exercises grounded in evidence-based positive psychology to help you identify your strengths; ditch the self-limiting beliefs that diminish your capacity for positivity; and increase feelings of motivation, resiliency, and wellness. You'll also learn to untangle yourself from rumination over past negative events, while shifting your perspective to the present moment and anticipating your future through a more positive lens.

With this unique, compassionate, and life-affirming guide, you'll find the tools you need to break free from hopelessness and start living a life of happiness and vitality.

Very approachable

I don't know why I waited so long to start this book. It is full of easy-to-digest information, nuggets of wisdom, and simple but profound tools and exercises from positive psychology, ACT, MBM, and other therapeutic approaches to combat (not only) depression and generate hope. I will definitely be recommending this book to some of my clients!

Great tools for hope

I love the step by step approach to battling depression and negativity. It’s easy to listen to, not condescending and a workable time frame. Definitely want to listen to again as I work through the steps
