this kinda depressed me and made me feel hopeless about the future ngl

I agree that this should be read. In fact, I bought a copy for my family after reading a library copy. But it would have been more impactful as a long form essay. The first third of the book is beautiful in structure and articulation. The remaining is repetitive.

Please don’t read it if you are interesting in global warming or the weather ... It has some interesting stories about Jews community, politics , family’s author , and among other stuff. Reading was so difficult the author starts with one idea and then suddenly the next paragraph talks about other stuff and next paragraph comes back to the first idea ... it doesn’t make sense.

This was an interesting read. I learned a lot, but not necessarily all about the weather. I feel like JSF was trying to make climate change an emotional issue so that we would feel compelled to make real changes. I think he succeeded in that. I think a lot of people feel discouraged by the fact that one person can’t really make a change to the global climate, so they don’t try. JSF addresses this and suggests that if enough of us come together, larger corporations will be motivated to change. He didn’t completely catastrophize the situation but encouraged deliberate urgency in making daily changes.

Definitely effective in its goal (further convincing me to become vegetarian), but the author is pretty repetitive. I definitely skipped the part where he interviews himself, that was annoying. But good info and I did push through to the end. Overall glad I read it, but the writing style wasn’t super enjoyable.

Har bestemt meg for å gi fem stjerner til alle klimakrise bøkene jeg leser - verdens mest ineffektive forsøk på demonstrasjon.

Uansett, denne sier mye fint om kognitiv dissonans og motivasjon, men lykkes (ironisk nok) ikke i å motivere meg til vaneendring. Plukket den opp fordi jeg trengte et spark i ræva for å bli veggis, men sitter i stedet igjen med dårlig samvittighet (så unyttig) for at jeg ikke makter å bli veganer (så lat).

Om to uker er alt jeg husker av denne at Foer sier det er bedre å være 50% vegan enn 100% veggis + at den delen av boka hvor han intervjuer seg selv er litt klein.

Noen tips til hva jeg kan lese i stedet??
