During the summer of 1979, as a young medical student, author Alphonsus Obayuwana was awarded a prestigious national grant to do a two-year research on Human Hope; little did he know it would take over thirty years of his adult life to sufficiently complete the project to his personal satisfaction.

His three major findings and irrefutable conclusions, following three decades of scientific research, are summarized in The Five Sources of Human Hope: Mirror of Our Humanity. Obayuwana thoroughly explains where, how, why, when, and from what five sources humans routinely find Hope in life. He demystifies Hope and takes it forever out of abstraction.

This book is as educational as it is inspiring. A very thought provoking thesis on the essence of human life. Congratulations and well done!

Without a doubt the best book I have ever read on the subject of Hope. Truly mandatory reading for every teacher, parent, and mentor.
