Hope and Other Superpowers

A Life-Affirming, Love-Defending, Butt-Kicking, World-Saving Manifesto

De: John Pavlovitz

Narrado por: John Pavlovitz

Overwhelmed by the news cycle and the state of affairs in our world? Pastor, blogger, and powerful voice in the Resistance, John Pavlovitz has the answer: this rousing and inspirational guide, drawing from lessons of our favorite superheroes, for how we can band together, live more heroically (and meaningfully), and save the world.

It’s exhausting to give a damn these days, isn’t it? Perhaps you’re feeling anguished about what you see on the news or in your social media timeline, or by your personal circumstances, and are paralyzed waiting for political or religious leaders, or celebrities, to rescue us from it all.

But what if you didn’t have to wait for someone else?

What if you could be the hero?

This book—a spirited call to action—shows you how.

In these pages, John offers a path away from the vitriol and toward com­passion, and a plan to transform our burdens into dreams and our outrage into activism. Drawing from lessons of beloved fictional superheroes, John shows us how to identify our origin story, build protective suits of armor, guard against our personal kryptonite, and vanquish our villains. He also identifies ten specific “superpowers” that we can enlist to make our lives and our world better. Along the way, he shares inspiring anecdotes and profiles about ordinary people who saw a gap in the world in empathy or kindness or gratitude and decided to fill it.

Hope and Other Superpowers is an invitation to anyone hoping to be the kind of person the world so desperately needs—the kind who can save it. In other words: it’s an invitation to you.

Motivating

I loved the simple ways we can all do better. Interesting ideas related to what super heroes do. Yes we can all be super heroes in our own way- loved the book. Bravo John Pavlovitz

excellent inspiration and motivation

I truly loved every part of this book. I look forward to more from this author.

Like a balm for my soul

I listen at night before sleeping. Mr. Pavlovitz's words have been so encouraging and comforting and empowering. Perfect for those folks who are disheartened by (or terrified of) our less-than-nice potus and political climate.

Inspirational!

Written by an ordinary superhero to bring hope and encouragement to other ordinary superheros who may be struggling. The real life stories of John and other people he has listened to in his life are inspirational to those of us who get discouraged and feel like we're not making a difference. I highly recommend listening to John read his own work in the audiobook. You can hear his passion for people in his voice.

A very inspirational message!!

During today’s disheartening times, this book was exactly what I needed to remind me of my superpowers and that I still give a damn! It was a reminder that I can still change the world, even when I want to give up. Thank you John.

Good Stories

It was a fun listen as John compared everyday folks to superheroes somewhat of an eye opener of the super humans we walk among daily

Perfect antidote to discouragement

Wow, this was exactly what I needed to hear right now. For a while, I thought I'd pretty much lost all hope. Have never had much interest in comic books or superheroes but I sure have a new perspective! Thank you, John Pavlovitz!

Timely.

I needed this right now. Chapter 19 especially. The author has now become my favorite.
