**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**
**
In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope?**
Looking at the headlines--the worsening climate crisis, a global
pandemic, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval--it can be hard to
feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.
In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living
naturalist, and Douglas Abrams, the internationally bestselling
co-author of The Book of Joy, explore through intimate and
thought-provoking dialogue one of the most sought after and least
understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane
focuses on her "Four Reasons for Hope" The Amazing Human Intellect, The
Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable
Human Spirit.
Drawing on decades of work that has helped expand our understanding of
what it means to be human and what we all need to do to help build a
better world, The Book of Hope touches on vital questions, including:
How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? How do we
cultivate hope in our children? What is the relationship between hope
and action? Filled with moving and inspirational stories and photographs
from Jane's remarkable career, The Book of Hope is a deeply personal
conversation with one of the most beloved figures in the world today.
While discussing the experiences that shaped her discoveries and
beliefs, Jane tells the story of how she became a messenger of hope,
from living through World War II to her years in Gombe to realizing she
had to leave the forest to travel the world in her role as an advocate
for environmental justice. And for the first time, she shares her
profound revelations about her next, and perhaps final, adventure.
The second book in the Global Icons Series--which launched with the
instant classic The Book of Joy with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and
Archbishop Desmond Tutu--The Book of Hope is a rare and intimate look
not only at the nature of hope but also into the heart and mind of a
woman who revolutionized how we view the world around us and has spent a
lifetime fighting for our future.
There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it.
