I loved the content but felt challenged by the presentation - it felt like I was reading a children’s book.

Jane Goodall, world’s most famous living naturalist, an expert on chimpanzees sits down with Douglas Abrams and talks about a topic which is much needed in these days - HOPE.
This book is a real eye opener on Jane's work around the world and truly inspiring. She insists on the power of humans who are resilient, kind and wise. Though Humans might not have used these power for a greater good. And that will effect and is also effecting not only humankind but the entire inhabitants of the earth. Jane tells the readers, there's still hope, it is not too late to reverse the effect of human deeds.
There are a lot of photograph's spanning Jane's life and many more stories which will instill hope, love and empathy on reader's surroundings. Jane is an inspiring , incredible life force. A wonderful book.
Happy Reading!!

Without ever realizing.. Jane Goodall played a huge part in how I see the world. 17 years ago I went to a Roots & Shoots talk where I got to meet Jane Goodall. I was already heavily involved in school clubs and already knew I wanted to go to university for environmental management. I remember listening to Jane speak, how her words gave me goose bumps, how she got the entire auditorium of Toronto schools to mimic chimp sounds and how this one single person made hundreds of us just feel something more. The Book of Hope made me understand why Jane Goodall does what she does and how her positivity and encouragement of hope gives people incentive to do and be better.
While listening to Doug and Jane narrate their words I found myself stopping whatever I was doing and listened, promptly forgetting what I was doing. Great read!

The most moving book I’ve read in a very long time. I don’t think that non-fiction has ever made me cry, but this had me multiple times. Magic!
