Hope Rising
Learn to overcome trauma, adversity, and struggle by unleashing the science of hope in your daily life with this inspiring and informative guide. Hope is much more than wishful thinking. Science tells us that it is the most predictive indicator of well-being in a person’s life. Hope is measurable. It is malleable. And it changes lives. In Hope Rising, Casey Gwinn and Chan Hellman reveal the latest science of hope using nearly 2,000 published studies, including their own research. Based on their findings, they make an impassioned call for hope to be the focus not only of our personal lives, but of public policy for education, business, social services, and every part of society. Hope Rising provides a roadmap to measure hope in your life. It teaches you to assess what may have robbed you of hope, and then provides strategies to let your hope flourish once again. The authors challenge every reader to be honest about their own struggles and end the cycle of shame and blame related to trauma, illness, and abuse. These are important first steps toward increasing your Hope score—and thriving because of it.

Cheering for the Children: Creating Pathways to HOPE for Children Exposed to Trauma
If we as a nation invested the money and time necessary to give every trauma-exposed child a cheerleader, we would empty our prisons and mental health facilities within two generations.

It is only a question of our priorities and commitment. Cheering for the Children is a clarion call to all caring people to become cheerleaders for children exposed to trauma and abuse. Author Casey Gwinn, former elected San Diego city attorney and a leading domestic violence professional, explains why childhood trauma should be the preeminent public...

Hope for America's Youth
HOPE FOR AMERICA’S YOUTH, BEYOND THE BLUE DOORS OF A BOYS & GIRLS CLUB is an exploration of how caring adults can ignite the bright potential of America’s youth. After the loss of her beloved mentor—when the doors of her career in government were slamming shut—Jane Sutter found new purpose, renewed faith, and hope as the CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County. Now retired, she catches up with some of her former “Club kids” to see where life has taken them since they walked out those blue doors. Interwoven with their stories is her own journey to—and through—those same doors. She uses the stories of individual Club kids (as well as exceptional volunteers and professional staff) to shine a light on issues of self-esteem, childhood trauma, and generational poverty. Sutter believes it is important to share a sense of hope with young people from all walks of life, not just those in our immediate families, to create stronger, more-compassionate communities.

Seeds of Happiness
Seed is an extremely important metaphor! We are all seeds! We all carry inside us a lot of seeds! Seed is a symbol of potential, life, and growth. A beautiful blossom already exists within a flower seed, even before it is planted. With the right mixture of soil, sunlight, and rain, the flower’s colour, scent, and form naturally emerge in their fullest expression. It is also true that flowers and trees grow toward the light. They seek it out, stretching out of the shadows in order to reach it—sideways if necessary. They seem to figure out on their own where the sun falls. Once they do, they show an unflappable determination to get there. Similarly, as human beings, we have a natural inclination to grow toward what we desire, striving for the things that give us meaning and joy—the sunlight of life, such as friendships, romantic relationships, fulfilling jobs, and a comfortable home. The book is a compilation of exercises or tools, validated by positive psychology researchers across the world to enhance our wellbeing. Like the law of gravitation and other universal principles, they have been discovered and sharpened by many researchers and experts.
