Rick Snyder war ein international anerkannter Professor an der Schnittstelle von klinischer, sozialer, Persönlichkeits- und Gesundheitspsychologie. Seine Theorien befassten sich damit, wie Menschen auf persönliches Feedback reagieren, das menschliche Bedürfnis nach Einzigartigkeit und den Drang, Verfehlungen zu entschuldigen. Seine jüngste Forschung konzentrierte sich auf die Motivation von Hoffnung und Vergebung. Als Pionier der positiven Psychologie beschrieb Snyder den Einfluss von Hoffnung auf verschiedene Lebensbereiche, darunter Gesundheit, Kinder, Spiritualität und Arbeit.

Hope has previously been a construct more of interest to philosophy and religion than in psychology. New research has shown, however, that hope is closely related to optimism, feelings of control, and motivation toward achieving one's goals. The Handbook of Hope presents a comprehensive overview of the psychological inquiry into hope, including its measurement, its development in children, how its loss is associated with specific clinical disorders, and therapeutic approaches that can help instill hope in those who have lost theirs. A final section discusses hope in occupational how the use of hope can make one a better coach, teacher, or parent.
