September 23 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
This 2021 non-fiction book written by world-renowned naturalist Dr. Jane Goodall and co-authored by Douglas Abrams, serves as a guide for finding optimism amidst global crises like climate change.
In this book, Jane Goodall details four distinct reasons for hope about the future of the planet: The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.
The narrative explores Goodall’s personal journey, from surviving World War II to her groundbreaking chimpanzee research in Gombe. Rather than advocating for passive optimism, she argues that hope requires active work and collective action to make a tangible difference.
