In this book Lars Svendsen embarks on a profound exploration of the nature of hope, asking what exactly hope is and how it differs from related phenomena such as wishful thinking. He argues that hope is rooted in the ability to shape ones own future, crucial for a society built on freedom instead of fear. Svendsen highlights hopes vital role in giving life meaning, and its intimate connection to identity. He shows that, while hope cannot magically transform the world, it can empower individuals to focus on achievable goals rather than pressing challenges. Ultimately, the book demonstrates the capacity of hope to propel both individuals and the world in a positive direction.
