8 Ways to Hope and navigate uncertain times | Bill Miller

In this enlightening episode of Compassion in a T-Shirt, I have the privilege of sitting down with Professor Bill Miller, co-founder of Motivational Interviewing and Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of New Mexico, to explore his profound new book, 8 Ways to Hope: Charting a Path Through Uncertain Times.Together, we dive deep into the eight facets of hope—desire, probability, possibility, optimism, trust, meaning and purpose, perseverance, and hope beyond hope—while also examining the delicate balance between hope and fear, and the choice to hold onto hope even in the face of despair.Professor Miller shares timeless wisdom, backed by science, as well as poetry and quotes, that illuminate the essence of hope and its power to transform lives. We also tackle the concept of false hope, and what it means to cultivate a hope that is both realistic and enduring. This conversation offers rich insights for anyone seeking hope, purpose, and compassion in their journey. Oh yes, we do also speak about compassion!Join us for a thought-provoking, soulful discussion that will leave you inspired and uplifted...and, dare I say, hopeful!TARGETED PLAYLIST:Compassion in a T-Shirt: In SessionLINKS:Professor Bill Miller's website: https://williamrmiller.net/Professor Bill Miller's books and resources: https://williamrmiller.net/books-and-resources/8 Ways to Hope: Charting a Path Through Uncertain Times (Miller, 2024): https://www.amazon.com/Ways-Hope-Charting-through-Uncertain/dp/146255492XIf you would like to learn more about compassion focused therapy, you can find Dr Stan Steindl's book The Gifts of Compassion here: https://www.amazon.com.au/Gifts-Compassion-understand-overcome-suffering/dp/1925644480Say hi on social:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drstansteindlTwitter: https://twitter.com/StanSteindlInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_stan_steindl/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stan-steindl-150a5264/Website: https://www.stansteindl.com/YouTube Video URL: https://youtu.be/rHtkZw0JKuE*Affiliate Disclaimer:Note this description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this video and support the channel at no cost to you.
