## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Hope is what remains among the ruins
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2018*

Eagleton presents a hope that is at odds with the happiness ideology of the self help world. Optimism, he says, evades morality by refusing to acknowledge the reality of suffering and resides in the ego. The book presents an analysis of literature and the nuanced views of hope such works contain,  while working to derive a sustainable view of hope that isnt rooted in naivety or cheeriness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    If you want to challenge yourself and exercise your mind....
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2016*

Do yourself a favor and battle through the first couple of chapters. It's no easy read but borders on the profound.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good book, but he has written better.
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017*

Eagleton is always a pleasure to read.  Every optimist on earth should read this book.  I'd love for him to write a book on pessimism.
