Hope, action, inspiration on climate
An incredible collection of interview and perspectives with leading voices on climate change, social change, and hope. Read this, and then pass it on. I love the provocative title and it always gets me thinking, “and what if we DO get it right?” Which makes me think of Marge Piercy’s utopian vision in “Woman on the Edge of Time”…and there she is on page 420 of this new tome.

This book can make you fall in love with the future.
My sweetheart recommended this book to me during our second date and gave me a copy to read. By the time I finished reading the prelude and the introduction I had fallen in love. With the book. And with the person who shared it with me; and with the possibilities it shows are achievable if we get it right.Itâs rare to find such a wonderful mix of practicality, imagination, wonky insight, inquisitiveness, wit, joy and keen style in one book. Reading it was deeply enjoyable. It left me convinced that the future could be an incredible place to live, and it gave me a sense of the lengthy to-do list that humanity (you & me & everyone) needs to work through if weâre going to ward off apocalypse and build the world we want.Thereâs even a playlist to rock out to while we work!

Climate solutions implementation – sexy!
Ever watch someone do something so skilled, so right, that you’re attracted? This book has that shine. Coming at climate crises from all sides of human endeavor, and led by the talented, passionate, and knowledgeable Ayana Elizabeth Johnson to keep it relevant, implementors from dozens of successful efforts explain the easy parts, the key parts, one nerdiest part, and the takeaways of the climate solutions they are implementing.

Finally a climate read that I ENJOYED
Most climate books make me want to crawl into a bunker, but this one is a JOY while still delivering amazing intel. It starts with a treasure hunt and then just gets better and better. I wish I couldâve been at the book launch that Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso) hosted with Ayana. I think you should get it, to read in pieces or even just to leave in your house as conversation topic and to make you look smart.

Inspiring!
Flipping thru the book when I first got it my eyes landed on a sentence towards the end …”so, go where there is need and where your heart can find a home”As someone in transition, trying to find my place, how I can best use my skills, I sooooooo appreciate this one sentence and as I continue to read I find inspiration in the poetry, hope, and joy that Dr Ayana Elizabeth Johnson conveys throughout her book. Strongly recommend to my fellow scientists looking to apply their skills in new ways

Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson is the voice we need
A smart, positive book that doesn’t sugarcoat the truth, but doesn’t descend into doomerism. Instead it lays out how much better things will be once we transition to a post-fossil fuel world, and explains how all of us can help get there.
