Helped me quite a bit
Reviewed: 12-26-23
This book covers eight different perspectives on how a caring citizen of Earth might choose to proceed through the climate catastrophe. Listening to this was at times painful, and other times uplifting. I never found it humorous (but that might just be me). The interviews helped me quite a bit with organizing my thoughts and emotions on what our next generation or two might experience. Because the author summarized and repeated bits of the interviews for emphasis, they have easily stuck in my head. In the end, I believe some of these bits will be helpful to keep me afloat ...emotionally at least, and able to find some good to do.
