i cant really put a rating on this book since i mainly skimmed it after halfway, i have nothing negative to say about this. i thoroughly enjoyed everything i read but this is just not a genre i typically go for.

Time for an admission: I subscribed to this podcast for… years? And I never listened to one episode. I let them build up and up and up until I thought I wouldn’t have time to catch up. Fortunately for me, author John Green wrote a book that I could read in just a few days. Even though I felt a little guilty for not listening to the original material and going straight to the book, I’m glad I pushed past the hesitation to pick it up. It hit me in two places: my anxiety/existential dread and my creativity. After, like, three essays, I started thinking, “Maybe I should do this.” I know that I won’t. But you have and will continue to see ratings in this feed, so it’s clear why the format appealed to me. Who knows, maybe I will take a stab at it someday! Then, there’s the anxiety, existential dread, and so on. I’m sure I’m not alone in being pretty wary of what the future has in store, considering, well, everything. I don’t know what I want long-term. I don’t know where I see myself in five years. Kids? Career? Who the hell knows. But reading this book really helped me put a few things in perspective. Like how sometimes, it’s OK to look away from the wide view of the landscape and just look at a cool leaf for a little bit. I give The Anthropocene Reviewed five stars.
