Overview

We can't solve the climate crisis with fear alone - we need to rewire hope. In a world overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, and division, The Neurobiology of Hope offers a refreshing and deeply human perspective: that hope itself is a biological function - and one that can be reactivated. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and systems thinking, Stacey A. Olson reveals how our emotional circuitry shapes not only our individual resilience but also our collective capacity for change. Through vivid storytelling and accessible science, Olson unpacks why traditional narratives of sacrifice and shame have failed to mobilize action - and how reframing hope as a physiological driver can unlock creativity, compassion, and courage in the face of global complexity. This book invites leaders, educators, designers, and everyday citizens to move beyond despair and into a new, actionable mindset: one rooted in biology, empathy, and possibility. The Neurobiology of Hope is more than a guide to understanding emotion - it's a manifesto for how we can reprogram our neural networks toward regeneration, belonging, and wellbeing.
