A Love Affair with the Unknown with Gill Deacon
Hope is a muscle we can strengthen—with Andrea Curtis
14 Oct 2025
Waking up each morning to a relentless news cycle of fear and despair, sometimes being hopeful can seem naive. How can we possibly have hope for a future that often feels grim? As award-winning author Andrea Curtis shares in her newest book, hope and struggle actually go hand in hand. The Story and Science of Hope is written for middle-grade readers but the neuroscience behind it offers comfort to us all. In her warm and upbeat style, Andrea explains how hope differs from optimism, and lays out the evidence showing the power we have to develop our sense of hope. This conversation is like a mini-course in how to cultivate an essential, life-enhancing emotion.Subscribe to our newsletter for more A Love Affair with the Unknown Hosted on Acast.
