Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
When was the last time that hearing the news made you feel good?
Dear Listener,
I know what you're thinking, is it some kind of macabre joke? Has she been in a coma? How can Ruby Wax write a book about good news when the world is facing the worst disaster since the Plague?
Let me explain. I began writing in 2018, back when the world's worries were somewhat different. Climate change, greedy bankers, exam results, crap politicians, mental health: these are still huge issues, but even the ancient soothsayers reading pig entrails couldn't have predicted this.
This is my new mission: to share the green shoots of hope peeping through the soil of civilisation. Literacy is at an all-time high, world-hunger is likely to be eradicated this century, technological improvements are saving lives - just to scratch the surface. I've talked to everyone from leaders to scientists to tech geniuses. I've done the research and practised what I preach. And my conclusion? Behind the clouds, the sun still shines.
So here's to the shoots - may they become a blueprint for how the world can shift for the good. Hopefully we'll learn from them.
Love, Ruby

Well researching and interesting
Really interesting read covering a range of topics. Quite different to Ruby's other books but well researched and a fascinating read. Very funny in parts too. Definitely recommend this book to others.

The ohhhh book
Where does one start, chapter by chapter, a great listen. Informative and idillic, perspective on the future, Or the past where ever one lives. It is almost in visual touching distance by the story. Thanks Ruby

Good news you know and good news you don't know.
This cheered me up which is no mean feat in this current climate, There's tons of info to take away, lots of good things to think about and look into. It's easy to follow, I liked all the succinct history lessons and some bits are really funny too so all good. I just wish I was a kid again and could get re-educated with the alternative models Ruby illustrates as then maybe I wouldn't have got expelled. It does give hope for the future.

One hitch with the Audible Version
Only part way through this book and really enjoying however finding hard to follow through on resources/places Ruby mentions in this book due to the fact that you don't see them in written form or maybe mishear them. A pdf of resource references would be good to include for readers /listeners to download
