The following books will help to inform, empower and encourage us. The list is far from complete, and of course, any and every book can inspire us, and feed our imagination, but these I think have a specific bearing on current crises, without focusing on melting ice sheets and extinction. I tried to list them in some kind of order of relevance, but that’s subjective.
From What Is to What If, by Rob Hopkins
The Good Ancestor, by Roman Krznaric
Building Paradise in Hell, and Hope in The Dark, both by Rebecca Solnit
Doughnut Economics, by Kate Raworth.
Lost Connections, by Johann Hari
Angrynomics, by Eric Lonergan, Mark Blyth
The Hedgehog and the Fox, by Isiah Berlin
Conflicted, by Ian Leslie
The Anatomy of Peace, by the Arbinger Institute
Wilding, by Isabella Tree
Don’t Even Think About It, by George Marshall
A subject that comes up occasionally during discussions is that a friend or family member has been caught up in one of the current conspiracist “theories”.
I recommend this book, as helpful, readable and informative: Escaping the Rabbit Hole, by Mick West.
