The Research Behind UBHopeful2

This isn't random inspirational content. Every module in UBHopeful2 maps directly to C.R. Snyder's Hope Theory—groundbreaking research demonstrating that hope is a learnable cognitive skill composed of three components: goals, willpower (agency), and waypower (pathways thinking).

Component 1: Hope Awareness

1 module focused on understanding and cultivating hope itself

Component 2: Goals

2 modules including purpose and goal-setting—the anchors of hope

Component 3: Willpower (Agency)

9 modules on commitment, confidence, determination, will-power, and overcoming adversity

Component 4: Waypower (Pathways)

5 modules on belief, ideas, imagination, planning, and possibility thinking

Component 5: Optimism

1 module on cultivating positive expectations for the future

Component 6: Perception of Control

3 modules on discipline, judgment, and making wise choices

Component 7: Problem-Solving Ability

1 module on developing capacity to solve challenges

Component 8: Competitiveness

1 module on healthy competitive drive toward goals

Component 9: Self-Esteem

2 modules on contentment and security in oneself

Component 10: Positive Affectivity

5 modules on enthusiasm, motivation, positivity, concentration, and focus

Component 11: Negative Affectivity Management

6 modules on overcoming anger, defeat, doubt, failure, fear, and worry

"Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense regardless of how it turns out. Hope is a cognitive set involving the perceived capabilities to derive pathways to desired goals and the perceived motivation to use those pathways."
— C.R. Snyder, Hope Theory Pioneer

How People Might Use UBHopeful2

The following are hypothetical examples illustrating potential use cases. These are not testimonials from actual users but scenarios showing how UBHopeful2 could be applied:

Hypothetical Example

The Morning Hope Practice

Michael might print the full card deck and keep it on his nightstand. Each morning before starting his day, he could draw one card, read through the quotes, and choose one to carry as his daily anchor of hope. He might write a brief reflection on how he'll apply the message, building his willpower and pathways thinking first thing each day.

Hypothetical Example

The Goal-Focused Approach

Jennifer might use the three core components—Goals, Willpower, and Waypower—as her focus. For any major goal she's pursuing, she could rotate through the relevant modules: setting the goal clearly, building motivation and determination (willpower modules), and imagining multiple pathways to achieve it (waypower modules). She might print fresh cards for each new goal journey.

Hypothetical Example

The Adversity Navigator

David, facing a difficult transition, might focus specifically on the Willpower and Negative Affectivity modules. He could keep the Overcome-Adversity, Overcome-Fear, and Overcome-Doubt cards close at hand, reading them when challenges feel overwhelming. The diverse voices—from Viktor Frankl to Maya Angelou to ancient Stoics—might offer different angles of hope when he needs them most.

Hypothetical Example

The 11-Week Hope Journey

A study group might work through UBHopeful2 systematically, spending one week on each of the 11 hope components. Week 1: Hope Awareness. Week 2: Goals. Week 3: Willpower. And so on. Members could share their favorite quotes each week, discuss applications, and build hope-thinking habits together over the quarter.

Hypothetical Example

The Counseling Companion

A life coach or counselor might use specific cards as therapeutic tools. When a client struggles with motivation, the coach could introduce the Willpower modules. When a client can't see options, the Waypower modules (Possibilitize, Have-Ideas, Imagine) might open new perspectives. The cards provide conversation starters grounded in research.

Hypothetical Example

The Athlete's Mental Training

An athlete preparing for competition might use UBHopeful2 as part of mental training. Before events, she could focus on B-Confident, Visualize (from complementary products), and Focus modules. After setbacks, she'd turn to Overcome-Defeat and Overcome-Failure. The combination of hope science and diverse wisdom traditions could strengthen mental resilience.

Note: These examples illustrate possible applications. Your experience will depend on which format you prefer (cards vs. book), how you integrate the practice into your life, and your commitment to reflection and application.

The Hope-Building Method: Goals + Willpower + Waypower

While there are many ways to use UBHopeful2, one particularly effective approach follows Snyder's three-component Hope Model—the framework validated across thousands of research studies.

Snyder's research demonstrated that hope isn't just wishful thinking—it's a learned pattern of thought with three distinct, trainable components that work together. UBHopeful2 is specifically designed to develop all three.

The Three-Component Practice

  1. Start with Goals (Component 2): Use the B-Purposeful and Set-Goals modules to clarify what you're hoping FOR. Hope requires a destination. Spend time with quotes about purpose and direction.
  2. Build Willpower (Component 3): Once you have a clear goal, work through the 9 Willpower modules. These build agency thinking—your belief in your ability to move toward goals. Focus on determination, commitment, and overcoming internal obstacles.
  3. Develop Waypower (Component 4): Finally, strengthen pathways thinking with the 5 Waypower modules. These help you generate multiple routes to your goals. When one path is blocked, high-hope people find another.
  4. Maintain and Expand: Use the remaining components (Optimism, Self-Esteem, Positive Affectivity, etc.) to reinforce and sustain your hope over time.
"Hopeful people are not Pollyannas who ignore problems. Rather, they identify goals, envision pathways to reach them, and summon the motivation to traverse those pathways—especially when encountering obstacles."
— Shane J. Lopez, Making Hope Happen

This three-component approach demonstrates that hope is a skill that can be systematically developed. UBHopeful2 gives you the curated wisdom to nurture each component; you choose how to apply it.

The Point: Snyder's decades of research prove that high-hope individuals consistently outperform others in academics, athletics, health outcomes, and life satisfaction—not because they're more talented, but because they've learned to think hopefully. UBHopeful2 provides the tools to develop this thinking pattern through daily engagement with wisdom from across human history.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly do I receive when I purchase?
Two PDF files delivered instantly via download: (1) Card Deck PDF with 39 printable cards formatted for A4 printing, and (2) Ebook PDF with the same content in flowing book format. Both files are personalized with your full name on every card and page.
How does the personalization work?
When you purchase, you'll provide your full name (first and last). We generate your personalized PDFs within 24-48 hours and send you the download links. Your name appears in the footer of every card, on the ebook cover, dedication page, and throughout both documents—making this truly YOUR collection.
Can I print these on a regular printer?
Yes! The PDFs are designed for standard A4 paper on any home or office printer. We recommend duplex (double-sided) printing for cards so front and back are on the same sheet. Use heavier paper (100-120gsm) if you want more durable cards, or standard 80gsm office paper works fine for notes and repeated printing.
Do I need to print the entire deck at once?
Not at all. Many users print just the intro cards plus the specific modules they're working with. You can print individual pages, specific hope components, or the full deck—whatever serves your practice. Since you own the PDFs forever, you can print and reprint whatever you need, whenever you need it.
What's the difference between the card deck and the ebook?
Same wisdom content, different formats. The card deck formats each module as a physical 2-page card with front/back design—perfect for shuffling, drawing randomly, writing notes on, and carrying specific cards with you. The ebook formats everything as a flowing book with cover, dedication, foreword, clickable table of contents, and bonus sections—perfect for reading on devices or printing as a bound book. Both are included with your purchase.
How is hope different from optimism?
According to Snyder's research, optimism is about expecting good outcomes, while hope adds agency—the belief that YOU can make those outcomes happen through your own efforts. Hope Theory includes both the motivation to pursue goals (willpower) AND the ability to generate pathways to reach them (waypower). UBHopeful2 addresses both optimism AND the active components of hope.
What are the "six wisdom traditions" included?
Each module draws quotes from: (1) Universal/Eclectic wisdom (philosophers, poets, thinkers across time), (2) Positive Psychology (contemporary research-backed insights), (3) Stoic philosophy (Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus), (4) Christian scripture and mystics, (5) Buddhist/Mindfulness teachings (Buddha, Thich Nhat Hanh), and (6) other global traditions (Rumi, Confucius, Lao Tzu, etc.). This diversity ensures multiple perspectives on hope from across human history.
Is this based on real research or just feel-good quotes?
Both, intentionally. The structural framework comes from C.R. Snyder's rigorously researched Hope Theory, supported by thousands of peer-reviewed studies. The 27 modules map directly to the components that Snyder identified as essential to hopeful thinking. The quotes themselves are authentic wisdom from history's greatest thinkers—selected not randomly but specifically to illuminate each research-backed principle. See our scientific foundation page for full details.
How long does it take to work through all 27 modules?
Entirely up to you. Some users might spend a week with each module (27 weeks = about 6 months). Others focus on the three core components (Goals, Willpower, Waypower) first, then expand to the full system. Still others dip in as needed, using specific modules for current life situations. There's no required pace—the collection adapts to your rhythm.
Can I share my PDFs with others?
The PDFs are personalized to you and licensed for your personal use. You can print multiple copies for yourself and print cards for immediate family members living in your household. However, the files themselves should not be shared digitally, as each person's collection is personalized to them. If friends or family want their own personalized collections, they can purchase their own for R297.
Are there other products in the InspireWell4Life collection?
Yes! UBHopeful2 is one of 36 products in our Aspirational Series—each focused on cultivating specific virtues, capabilities, and ways of being (You Be Gritty, You Be Resilient, You Be A Leader, etc.). We're also launching a Life Wisdom Series with 20 Navigate products for situational guidance. All use the same format: personalized cards + ebook, research-based frameworks, diverse wisdom traditions. The ebook includes a complete list in the "Explore Collections" section.
What's your refund policy?
Due to the personalized nature of the PDFs and instant digital delivery, all sales are final. However, if there are any issues with your files (technical problems, printing errors, etc.), contact us immediately and we'll resolve it. We want you to have a perfect experience with your collection.
