The Book of Hope — Antidote for Anxiety, reveals that we are more anxious now than ever before. We’ve had to be; it’s how we have survived as a species. Our in-built mechanism of fight or flight has turned into overwhelming anxiety that we soothe, avoid or numb. This book introduces a new concept and mind-set for dealing with anxiety now — hope. We seek a hopeful world but like faith, it needs to be enriched and shared to be cultivated. Hope has countless shapes — an innocent child, an open door, a new book on the bedside, a wallet returned to its owner, a new beginning or a fresh spring day. The Book of Hope will help you to cultivate and foster this hope and re- frame your relationship with anxiety as a gift that can help you to connect with the meaning and purpose of your life.Vicki Bennett is a business woman, trainer, professional speaker, artist and author of 30 books that have been translated into numerous languages.
