By turn feisty, funny, erudite, and deeply personal, HOPE IN SMALL DOSES is the perfect antidote to our angry, fearful times. Following her husband’s death on 9/11, author Nikki Stern searches for hope that doesn’t rely on expectations or guarantees. Combining research and reflection, she comes up with a blueprint for practical happiness. HOPE IN SMALL DOSES is a 2015 Eric Hoffer Montaigne Medal Finalist, given to books that “repurpose, redirect, or inspire thought.”
