  Hope is a force that fuels resilience, strengthens determination, and inspires people to push forward even in the darkest moments. It is not just wishful thinking but a deep-seated belief that better days lie ahead. When faced with adversity, hope becomes a guiding light, illuminating possibilities that might otherwise remain unseen. It empowers individuals to rise above setbacks, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. 
  Why hope matters in difficult times is evident in the way it shapes human responses to hardship. Those who embrace hope tend to navigate struggles with a sense of purpose and persistence. It provides the emotional strength needed to endure uncertainty, offering reassurance that no storm lasts forever. People who hold on to hope are more likely to take proactive steps toward improvement rather than surrender to despair. 
  The science behind optimism reveals that hope is more than an abstract concept—it has tangible effects on mental and physical well-being. Studies suggest that individuals with a hopeful outlook experience lower stress levels, improved immunity, and a greater ability to cope with life’s difficulties. The brain, when wired for optimism, releases chemicals that promote motivation and resilience. This neurological response reinforces the idea that hope is not only beneficial but essential for overall health and success.

  We all grow up with the assumption that everybody perceives the world in the same way that we do and, as an adult, live what we feel to be normal lives and interact socially just like anyone else. Imagine what would happen to you if you found out that you are really very different, that you have been compensating all of your life and that what you considered normal behavior was actually an elaborate coping mechanism you had created for yourself. Your world suddenly changes. That's what happened to me when I found out I was face blind.This book recalls numerous true instances from my life that are highly amusing when seen from the point of view of someone who is not face blind. It also provides both an entertaining as well as an enlightening read about the intricate methods I developed in order to get by, and my perception of the world as a person who did not know he was face blind.This book also deals with how my life would have been different if I had learned earlier in life that I was face blind, and how my life dramatically changed after I did learn about it.I conclude with a word of caution to well meaning parents and clinicians who might identify face blindness in their child.This second edition was written six years after the first and includes how I learned to cope with the knowledge I am face blind. I share my coping mechanisms and explain how I am able to deal with people.
