Hope is a really big construct as we use it. I got interested in it because I've been working as a clinical psychologist for nearly 25 years. And obviously people come to see a psychologist when life is a struggle. So what was going on? You might remember if you were here for Esther's talks or have read any of her books, Estimakes,. She talks, she cites Polanyi, Michael Polanyi-lot and he points out that any scientific endeavour will cause psychology of science for that purpose starts with the passion of the investigator.
