Publisher's 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

Great for cruising down the highway
There’s something always authentically real with a good pinch of optimism. Also, guaranteeing to leave you smiling plus wanting to hear more! I leave this book with the feeling of hope for all of our futures..

Food For Thought
I got so inspired by this book, learnt a lot and got the hunger for more knowledge on a range of topics.
Although honest and at times confronting, this book gave me realistic hope and a bit of restores faith, in this sometimes not so wise species we are.
I'd love to start a Frazzled Cafe in Australia and look to open my own eco-village one day (one with domestic animals, which seems hard to find) and this book made me realise that people are doing it and succeeding.
Thanks for the good news Ruby.
