Why read it?
1 author picked Active Hope Revised as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved reading this book as it is both deeply personal and rooted in community.
It emphasises hope as an active practice rather than as a feeling; it’s something we do rather than we have, and it is rooted in desire for a different future. I liked that it doesn’t brush over the ecological destruction and the “pain for the world” as it is now. Instead, it honours this state to imagine a different future, which we can then work towards.
The book is very practical with lots of “try this” boxes to ensure this is not all theoretical, yet…
From Sigrun's list on climate hope and action.
