Choosing hope over fear isn't easy, but it's possible when you know how. Cultivating hope can help you get through tough times, even during crises or after receiving bad news.

Dr. William Miller is a psychologist and a psychology professor at the University of New Mexico. He's written over 65 books and authored over 400 articles, making him one of the most cited scientists ever. Now, he's written a book called 8 Ways to Hope.

Some of the things we talk about are:

Why hope is important
Misconceptions about hope
When not to hope
Why it's OK to change what you hope for
The different kinds of hope
The exact strategies that can help you cultivate hope
