Summary
In a world that seems so troubled， how do we hold on to hope？
Looking at the headlines--a global pandemic， the worsening climate crisis， political upheaval--it can be hard to feel optimistic。 And yet hope has never been more desperately needed。
In this urgent book， Jane Goodall， the world's most famous living naturalist and Doug Abrams， internationally-bestselling author， explore--through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue--one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope。 In The Book of Hope， Jane focuses on her “Four Reasons for Hope”: The Amazing Human Intellect， The Resilience of Nature， The Power of Young People， and The Indomitable Human Spirit。
Told through stories from a remarkable career and fascinating research， The Book of Hope touches on vital questions including: How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless？ How do we cultivate hope in our children？ Filled with engaging dialogue and pictures from Jane’s storied career， The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of the most beloved figures in today’s world。
And for the first time， Jane tells the story of how she became a messenger of hope: from living through World War II， to her years in Gombe， to realizing she had to leave the forest to travel the world in her role as an advocate for environmental justice。 She details the forces that shaped her hopeful worldview， her thoughts on her past， and her revelations about her next--and perhaps final--adventure。
There is still hope， and this book will help guide us to it。

What an absolutely beautiful message this book has。 It was inspirational， calming， and educated。 Is it too much to say that it gives me hope （no pun intended） for the future？ This should go on everyone's must read list。 It's that important。 I thank Celadon Books for an advance copy of this book。 All opinions are my own。 What an absolutely beautiful message this book has。 It was inspirational， calming， and educated。 Is it too much to say that it gives me hope （no pun intended） for the future？ This should go on everyone's must read list。 It's that important。 I thank Celadon Books for an advance copy of this book。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

Well-timed book with a thoughtful message…I’ve always admired Jane Goodall。 From my perspective， her life has always been about the thirst for knowledge and making a difference。 A difference for animals who have no voice。 And for a planet who is crying out for help。 And now for the humans may be struggling， believing that all has already been lost… This book was not a ‘Pollyanna’ take on the crisis we are all facing – if we choose to believe it or not – but rather a call to peaceful arms， that （ Well-timed book with a thoughtful message…I’ve always admired Jane Goodall。 From my perspective， her life has always been about the thirst for knowledge and making a difference。 A difference for animals who have no voice。 And for a planet who is crying out for help。 And now for the humans may be struggling， believing that all has already been lost… This book was not a ‘Pollyanna’ take on the crisis we are all facing – if we choose to believe it or not – but rather a call to peaceful arms， that （together） we can make a difference…。In a conversational style， Jane and her co-author document what she believes are the pillars of strength that will enable all of us to keep working towards a solution。 Her ‘four reasons for hope’ include The Amazing Human Intellect， The Resilience of Nature， The Power of Young People， and The Indomitable Human Spirit。 Each subject was broken down and explained in a clear voice that didn’t bludgeon me with righteousness but instead encouraged me to look for strength and reasons to keep moving forward。 All has not been lost。 Yet…Is the task overwhelming？ It most definitely is。 I liked that this wasn’t white-washed but instead it confirmed the daunting task we face。 What it also did was remind me why it’s important to keep fighting。 Because there is hope， in each other， in the work being done every day。 We can unite believing， and working， in a unified belief that we， and the planet we live in， are worth saving…Inspirational and informative， I really did come away more optimistic and also determined to not just be hopeful but take that belief and transform it into something tangible。 Hope won’t save the planet or its inhabitants but the loss of it would be its death knell…*I happily reviewed this book**Thank you to NetGalley 。。。more

It is very hard to have hope in the best of times， but in times that we have faced over the last year and a half especially， those moments of hope have seemed fewer and fewer。Yet beyond the often cloying self-help guides designed to raise your sense of hope and happiness， comes a book that works both as a continuing memoir of a remarkable career and an interesting way of framing the discussion of what it means to hope and to survive。Meet "The Book of Hope" by Jane Goodall and Douglas Adams。In a It is very hard to have hope in the best of times， but in times that we have faced over the last year and a half especially， those moments of hope have seemed fewer and fewer。Yet beyond the often cloying self-help guides designed to raise your sense of hope and happiness， comes a book that works both as a continuing memoir of a remarkable career and an interesting way of framing the discussion of what it means to hope and to survive。Meet "The Book of Hope" by Jane Goodall and Douglas Adams。In a series of conversations， both Douglas and Jane combine the personal biography of Jane Goodall， whose own life as a naturalist has been one filled with adventures to fill several people's lifetimes， with practical advice and conversation that provides a provocative and heartfelt narrative that would make likely anyone who reads it feel just a little bit more joyful in these trying times。 This is a book for those interested not only in the career of a fascinating scientist but also serves as a light that does much to pierce the always threatening gloom。Thanks to @CeladonBooks for the opportunity to read and review an advance copy of #TheBookOfHope 。。。more

'The Book of Hope' is a wonderful non fiction account of Jane Goodall's life journey。 The book reads as an interview account， as Douglas Abrams chats with Goodall about her experiences as a young environmentalist。 She indeed witnesses many joys and sorrows in her life as she studies the nature of primates around the world。Goodall also shares about the fragility of life， as she speaks about the sudden changes in the environment and the coronavirus pandemic。 Goodall shares that we are experiencing 'The Book of Hope' is a wonderful non fiction account of Jane Goodall's life journey。 The book reads as an interview account， as Douglas Abrams chats with Goodall about her experiences as a young environmentalist。 She indeed witnesses many joys and sorrows in her life as she studies the nature of primates around the world。Goodall also shares about the fragility of life， as she speaks about the sudden changes in the environment and the coronavirus pandemic。 Goodall shares that we are experiencing a very tryinh time， yet we must hold firm of hope in our lives。I believe that 'The Book of Hope' can also be read in audiobook format， as there is easy banter between Goodall and Abrams as they share about their lives。 This is a valuable non-fiction read！**Thank you to Celadon Books for the gifted copy** 。。。more

Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams have come together for thoughtful ruminations on what hope is and where it exists-in individuals， in societies and countries， in nature。 It’s such a tricky thing to explain， as many emotions are， that some of the best explanations of it are told in stories。 Goodall is truly correct when she tells Abrams that stories are powerful and resonate much more strongly than numbers， datasets or rote descriptions。 The casual observer of Goodall’s work may be surprised at th Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams have come together for thoughtful ruminations on what hope is and where it exists-in individuals， in societies and countries， in nature。 It’s such a tricky thing to explain， as many emotions are， that some of the best explanations of it are told in stories。 Goodall is truly correct when she tells Abrams that stories are powerful and resonate much more strongly than numbers， datasets or rote descriptions。 The casual observer of Goodall’s work may be surprised at the breadth of her observations， but they are sharply honed over thirty years of being an ambassador for conservation and hope。 The book does at times feel repetitive， circling back time and again to hope， who has it， how it is fostered， and how its effects can create a positive feedback loop。 This may be the product of what is essentially a very long interview， as this is how the book is formatted。 The book is certainly inspiring， but may be best read by reading in small pieces， when the reader needs a reminder of all the good that can exist in the world when we see how interconnected it is。 。。。more

"In a world that seems so troubled， how do we hold on to hope？"That is one of the poignant questions that the author Douglas Abrams， of the internationally bestselling co-author of "The Book of Joy，" asked Jane Goodall， the world's most famous living naturalist。 In a world facing a climate crisis， growing political upheaval， a global pandemic， etc， it would be easy to become depressed and lose all hope for the future。 However， in "The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times，" Jane Goodal "In a world that seems so troubled， how do we hold on to hope？"That is one of the poignant questions that the author Douglas Abrams， of the internationally bestselling co-author of "The Book of Joy，" asked Jane Goodall， the world's most famous living naturalist。 In a world facing a climate crisis， growing political upheaval， a global pandemic， etc， it would be easy to become depressed and lose all hope for the future。 However， in "The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times，" Jane Goodall， while acknowledging these challenges， instead chooses to focus on all the amazing stories she has heard and which she experienced in her life， of the courage， steadfastness， and determination of those who are fighting the "forces of evil" in the world。 Through many interview question and answer sessions with Abrams， Goodall focuses on her “Four Reasons for Hope”: The Amazing Human Intellect， The Resilience of Nature， The Power of Young People， and The Indomitable Human Spirit。 She has hope that people realize that their actions， however small they may seem， will truly make a difference。 That the cumulative effect of thousands of ethical actions can help to save and improve our world for future generations。 She shares stories and photos from her amazing life--her early years of living through World War II， her many years studying chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park in Africa， to the realization she had to leave the forest of Africa to travel in the world as an advocate for environmental justice。 She was also influential in beginning a worldwide youth movement called "Roots and Shoots" to encourage children and young adults to take action in their community to make effective change where they see a discord or a need， be it environmental， social injustice， pollution， and so on。 She feels through these actions these youth will gain confidence and strength and become the compassionate global leaders of tomorrow。 I found this book very inspirational。 Reading it filled me with the hope that we all can change the world for the better， that we can keep hope alive--first in our own lives and then in our community。 We can each make a difference， we just have to become proactive and do whatever we can to improve the lives of those around us。 Change begins with each of us！Many thanks to @CeladonBooks and @JaneGoodallInst for an ARC of #TheBookofHope 。。。more
