In this episode of A Dad’s Path Podcast, we sit down with Jamil Zaki, author of the newly released book Hope for Cynics. Together, they dive into the fascinating concept of “hopeful skepticism” and why it’s a more effective mindset than blind optimism or deep cynicism, especially in parenting. Jamil explains why society often views cynicism as wisdom and how this perception can limit opportunities for connection and growth. They discuss how parents can foster hopeful skepticism in their kids, build trust, and avoid the pitfalls of “social shark attacks.” You’ll also learn practical strategies like implementing gratitude practices and identifying moments of social goodness to counter negativity. This conversation offers insightful, actionable tips for parents who want to raise resilient, empathetic children while maintaining a balanced worldview.📚 Get Jamil Zaki’s book, Hope for Cynics #Parenting #HopefulSkepticism #JamilZaki #ADadsPath #PositiveParenting #ParentingMindset #HopeForCynics
