Summary
In a world that seems so troubled， how do we hold on to hope？
This program is read by the authors and includes a bonus PDF。
Looking at the headlines—the worsening climate crisis， a global pandemic， loss of biodiversity， political upheaval—it can be hard to feel optimistic。 And yet hope has never been more desperately needed。
In this urgent audiobook， Jane Goodall， the world's most famous living naturalist， and Douglas Abrams， the internationally bestselling co-author of The Book of Joy， 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。
Drawing on decades of work that has helped expand our understanding of what it means to be human and what we all need to do to help build a better world， 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？ What is the relationship between hope and action？ Filled with moving and inspirational stories and photographs from Jane’s remarkable career， The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of the most beloved figures in the world today。
While discussing the experiences that shaped her discoveries and beliefs， 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。 And for the first time， she shares her profound revelations about her next， and perhaps final， adventure。
The second audiobook in the Global Icons Series—which launched with the instant classic The Book of Joy with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu—The Book of Hope is a rare and intimate look not only at the nature of hope but also into the heart and mind of a woman who revolutionized how we view the world around us and has spent a lifetime fighting for our future。
There is still hope， and this book will help guide us to it。

Amazing reminders of the impact this one woman has had on science and on everyone's image of what animals are。 The audio is beautiful with Jane in her own voice， exchanging thoughts with interviewer Douglass Adams in his own voice。 Amazing reminders of the impact this one woman has had on science and on everyone's image of what animals are。 The audio is beautiful with Jane in her own voice， exchanging thoughts with interviewer Douglass Adams in his own voice。 。。。more

I listened to the audio version of The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times by Jane Goodall。 It was filled with Goodall’s wisdom and stories， all of which were relevant right now。 The book is really current， published in October 2021。 Goodall covered the environment， politics， and many personal areas of her life。 I found the interview format a bit difficult to listen to at first （“she said/he said”）， but the content made listening worth while。 I also appreciated hearing Goodall doing I listened to the audio version of The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times by Jane Goodall。 It was filled with Goodall’s wisdom and stories， all of which were relevant right now。 The book is really current， published in October 2021。 Goodall covered the environment， politics， and many personal areas of her life。 I found the interview format a bit difficult to listen to at first （“she said/he said”）， but the content made listening worth while。 I also appreciated hearing Goodall doing the storytelling herself。 Definitely a significant read！ 。。。more

So， Jane is a truly amazing human。 Fairly certain， EVERYONE knows that， but DAMN she is just so great！I audiobooked this and she narrates part of it， and you can just hear the pure genuineness of her being。 This was a beautiful suggestion in searching for and living with hope。

This is an important book with a simple message。 We all need to hear it。 Many people are suffering from the ripple effects of the continued pandemic and life may seem grim and pointless。 It is a reminder that we are a member of this global community， that we each play a part， and not to wallow in the self separateness。

This was such a beautiful book that provided so many stories of hope from a woman who has done so much to generate kindness on Earth。 I remember reading an article that compared Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall。 I won't go into what the article said about Fossey， but I will say that it was evident from this book on Goodall， that Goodall's consideration for the humans involved with her research is the reason she's much beloved today。 This is such a great book for these times， when doom-scrolling can This was such a beautiful book that provided so many stories of hope from a woman who has done so much to generate kindness on Earth。 I remember reading an article that compared Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall。 I won't go into what the article said about Fossey， but I will say that it was evident from this book on Goodall， that Goodall's consideration for the humans involved with her research is the reason she's much beloved today。 This is such a great book for these times， when doom-scrolling can make things feel hopeless。 I recommend this book to anyone who loves nature and reading about people trying to make things better， who could use a little hope。 。。。more

I wish everyone would read and particularly listen to Jane’s latest book。 Something so comforting in her voice as she details how we can band together globally and help fight the ravages of our planet together， before it’s too late。 Please read this book。 And then go plant a tree。

If you’re not moved by the words and wisdom of Jane Goodall， do you even have a heart？ In The Book of Hope， the saintly naturalist sits down with author Douglas Abrams to discuss - you guessed it - hope。 This is somewhat of a follow up to Abrams’s 2016 The Book of Joy， which chronicled a conversation between the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu。 Hope and Joy？ Yes please， I’ll take as many tips as possible to live a life embracing these emotions。 Through stories from her youth during WWII t If you’re not moved by the words and wisdom of Jane Goodall， do you even have a heart？ In The Book of Hope， the saintly naturalist sits down with author Douglas Abrams to discuss - you guessed it - hope。 This is somewhat of a follow up to Abrams’s 2016 The Book of Joy， which chronicled a conversation between the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu。 Hope and Joy？ Yes please， I’ll take as many tips as possible to live a life embracing these emotions。 Through stories from her youth during WWII to her older years in the jungles of the animal kingdom， the book focuses on four reasons for hope: The Amazing Human Intellect， The Resilience of Nature， The Power of Young People， and The Indomitable Human Spirit。 I love what Abrams is trying to achieve， but as with The Book of Joy， the format wasn’t entirely successful for me。 Reading a book of what’s essentially a conversation felt choppy at times， and it was hard for me to suss out the ultimate thesis let alone the evidence to support it。 Lengthy discussions on climate change， deforestation and extinction also were downright depressing！ Still， I’m glad to have spent time in the company of Ms。 Goodall and applaud the effort to help others look on the sunny side of life。 If she’s speaking， I’m listening。 Blog: https://www。confettibookshelf。com/ 。。。more

Wonderful book。 Felt like I was sitting right there part of the conversation。 Beautifully written and so needed in those trying times。

Jane Goodall gets 5 stars always！ The 3 stars is for the clunky interview format， which just didn’t work for me。

I really enjoyed reading this little manifesto on hope。 It's always fascinating to read about Jane's life， work and thoughts， but particularly in the shadow of the climate crisis， the pandemic， etc， this was a buoyant little read。 There's some amazing research discussed and some fab stories told - I'm sure I'll read it again later on。 I really enjoyed reading this little manifesto on hope。 It's always fascinating to read about Jane's life， work and thoughts， but particularly in the shadow of the climate crisis， the pandemic， etc， this was a buoyant little read。 There's some amazing research discussed and some fab stories told - I'm sure I'll read it again later on。 。。。more

I would love to sip whiskey with Jane Goodall， listen to her wisdom and draw on her strength。 The next best thing is this book。 In it， she says that hope is a human trait， although animals seem to feel hope as well。 Through stories， she points out the resilience of nature and the indomitable human spirit。 She shares her version of spirituality。 And when discussing the environmental crises， she gives words of encouragement that there is still a window of opportunity to turn things around， but war I would love to sip whiskey with Jane Goodall， listen to her wisdom and draw on her strength。 The next best thing is this book。 In it， she says that hope is a human trait， although animals seem to feel hope as well。 Through stories， she points out the resilience of nature and the indomitable human spirit。 She shares her version of spirituality。 And when discussing the environmental crises， she gives words of encouragement that there is still a window of opportunity to turn things around， but warns that the window is closing soon。 Goodall's words， in addition to giving me a sense of hope， also brought up other emotions。 I wanted to sob when she referred to the saying "we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors， we borrow it from our children，" adding that we're not borrowing it， we're stealing it。 And in a final chapter， when she points out that zoologists had warned about a possible pandemic， that COVID is not the first virus to be transferred from animal to human， that the inciting incident is the mistreatment and eating of animals， I felt。。。infuriated。This book is not only a survival guide for trying times， it's a much-needed call to action。 。。。more

"'That's wonderful， but doesn't it feel like a drop in the ocean， given the overwhelming autocracy or tyranny that people are facing around the world？''But millions of drops actually make the ocean。'" Very few of us will be able to match the impact that Jane Goodall has had on the world。 This humble and inspiring book reminds us that we too can be part of the ocean of hope and change。 "'That's wonderful， but doesn't it feel like a drop in the ocean， given the overwhelming autocracy or tyranny that people are facing around the world？''But millions of drops actually make the ocean。'" Very few of us will be able to match the impact that Jane Goodall has had on the world。 This humble and inspiring book reminds us that we too can be part of the ocean of hope and change。 。。。more

This was the perfect Thanksgiving read。 It was a bit preachy in some places， but if anyone has earned the right to preach， it's Jane Goodall。 It's also a tad too political for my tastes， but climate change is political， and so。。。ok。 Overall， the book was amazing and I loved it。 It actually DID give me hope， which I didn't think was possible。 I'm going to check out her other books。 This was the perfect Thanksgiving read。 It was a bit preachy in some places， but if anyone has earned the right to preach， it's Jane Goodall。 It's also a tad too political for my tastes， but climate change is political， and so。。。ok。 Overall， the book was amazing and I loved it。 It actually DID give me hope， which I didn't think was possible。 I'm going to check out her other books。 。。。more
