This book is essential。 It's deceptively simple - so clear and breezy that you really have to focus to notice how much knowledge and work goes into this kind of artful climate communication。 A lot of nonfiction authors spend time telling you they're smart， but a real genius communicator makes you feel like they're having a real one-on-one conversation with you。 So this book is a breath of fresh air AND has interesting psychological studies AND there are anecdotes that I can't get out of my head。 This book is essential。 It's deceptively simple - so clear and breezy that you really have to focus to notice how much knowledge and work goes into this kind of artful climate communication。 A lot of nonfiction authors spend time telling you they're smart， but a real genius communicator makes you feel like they're having a real one-on-one conversation with you。 So this book is a breath of fresh air AND has interesting psychological studies AND there are anecdotes that I can't get out of my head。 。。。more
