Hope: An Action Verb

What are the connotations when you hear or see the word "Hope"? Is it an intangible concept? An esoteric notion? Razeghi, a writer,educator, and innovator demonstrates through illustrative storytelling, research from neuroscience and behavioral psychology, the wisdom of such folks as Marshall Nirenberg (who broke the genetic code), Deepak Chopra, and the Dalai Lama, that hope is a verb, a tangible tool, atrait that can be learned. Similar in writing style to Malcolm Gladwell, Andrew makes you ponder and take risks in thought and perception. Whether your interests include business, politics, science, sports, art, or religion, there is something for everyone. If you are a recent graduate of college entering the brave new world of the workforce, a business merchant embarking on a new venture, an individual looking for a new career, or just a student of life, "Hope" is an excellent resource and a good read. Enjoy!

Finally, this is IT

I have worked for a few great leaders and am married to one. I have often wondered, what is IT. What characteristic do they have that others do not? Andrew Razeghi answers this question with his new book... they have HOPE. And more exciting than that, hope can be learned! Andrew does an excellent job describing how great leaders feel, behave and communicate, through interesting interviews with some of the world's greatest leaders. He teaches us how we, too, can become inspirational and effective leaders in our field.

Hope Is The Alternative Energy Source We Need

Andrew Razeghi follows in the footsteps of Malcolm Gladwell by giving his readers new insights through a multitude of stories, studies, and experiences. At the same time, he blazes a new trail by exploring how hope and the human condition are implicitly intertwined. The book is sure to have any reader examining their own life and how it could be made better with more hope, and like Gladwell's writing, it is easy to read and difficult to put down. And, though it is written for leaders, with Razeghi's belief that leaders are not born, they are made, it has lessons that would benefit any reader, whether an employee, manager, or student.

Triumph for Everyone

In classrooms and amphitheaters across the world, Mr. Razeghi has inspired audiences to achieve, excel, and innovate. With "Hope," Razeghi's message of positive, activist leadership is finally accessible to all. "Hope" is a perfect guide - and gift - for future leaders in every field.

Inspirational

There have been numerous books written about the divine power of hope in medical science, but this is the first time I've seen the principals applied to business and leadership. The author does a great job of blending stories of inspiration and hope from numerous individuals - in addition to his own life experiences - in a pleasant and easy to read format. This isn't like most business books - it's a refreshing change for the better.
