This book was exactly what I needed in the midst of a full on existential and global crisis.
Even in the last few months since this book was published, it feels like so much has changed... but also hasn't. Just because more people's eyes are opening doesn't mean that any of our current events are new, and this book helps to prove that folks have been noticing and reacting and attempting to enforce change.
Despite the world seeming like it's crumbling around us and the feeling that we're all doomed, we can't let nihilism get the best of us. This book helped me to refresh my mindset and focus on what positive change is happening in the world.
It's so easy to assume the world is out to get us and we have no hope, but this book is a great reminder that there's always hope to be had and the earth will always be worth saving.
