The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet by John Green
4.0
I don't listen to his podcast of the same name so I wasn't sure what to expect but I loved it!
I always think of John Green as a bit of a pessimist but this book was so oddly and wonderfully hopeful. I say oddly because while he does seem to deliberately take a hopeful stance in the reviews he does it without anything feeling trite, it all feels balanced. I also loved that the essays delved into the personal as well because it made me connect with it more!
If you're feeling overwhelmed and want something soothing or hopeful this is the book for you.
