<p>This episode on radical hope is not about hope in the afterlife—that, I will leave to the men and women of faith. Instead, it addresses the pressing question of why untold millions lack hope in this life: hope that things can improve, a belief that we can create a world with better life chances for all, and a conviction that we can foster exponentially more justice and peace. Many face a crisis of faith, feeling drained and depleted. Daily, they experience a shortfall of hope that would allow them to live with vibrancy and purpose.</p> <p>In this episode, I argue that hope is indeed possible. It is in-built in a reality where nothing is fixed or unchanging. The reality of constant change generates possibilities and highlights the powerful idea of renewal in every moment. By engaging in dialogue with others who see the potential for positive change, we sustain our faith. We draw strength from the dynamism of radical hope and confront the future without despair.</p>

<p>In this episode, I explore deep listening. Too often, listening is an act observed in the breach—people listen less to understand and more to reply, critique, or dismantle. We rush to respond, to showcase our point of view, to close a deal, or to flaunt our knowledge. </p> <p>But Deep listening will make for a better society. It fosters stronger relationships, healthier households, more cohesive communities and more dynamic civil society organisations. Deep listening – consistently practicing it – can make you more insightful, positively transform your relationships, and generally make you a better human being.</p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p>

<p>One of the deep human needs is for significance. Significance relates to that quality of meaningfulness. It appears to come from outside, but actually, it is a feeling and sense that must be achieved deep within the self. When the person attains it, he or she hasa clear sense that they value themselves and are valuable. It relates to a positive self-concept. Some strive for it through external validation; others seek it through appreciation of their goals, their values, or their uniqueness. Yet others realise it through a positive connection between themselves and community and in the way they add value to the community.</p>
