Read February 2022 - Well Read Book Club
The Book of Hope is the next installment in what I hope will be a full fledged series of books by Douglas Abrams with famous and inspiring people on how they approach life. I read The Book of Joy by the Dalia Lama and Desmond Tutu last January with Well Read Book Club and this year we followed that magnificent book up with The Book of Hope. BOTH books are phenomenal and I would recommend them to all!
As with The Book of Joy, I read the hardback version (filled with photos) but also listened to the audible version. The Book of Hope is actually narrated by Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams, which was tremendous. I appreciated how she didn't mince words about where we are with climate change, but did offer hope - much like David Attenborough in A Life On Our Planet. She shared lots of data about how hope also helps people health wise, academically, with family success, etc.
Not to be missed is The Message of Hope from Jane at the back of the book and the further reading section.
I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars.
