We explore how a 1950s Harvard rat study reveals the power of hope, then turn it into three practical strategies to build belief: borrow confidence, recall rebounds, and practice self-cheering. Stories from training and obstacle races bring the ideas down to earth with clear, usable steps.
• Why hope extends endurance and effort
• Borrowing belief from trusted people when confidence is low

• Setting a small challenge to build belief today
