Praise

• “No one makes environmental optimism more credible or compelling than Rob Hopkins. Read this and don’t weep.”

—Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, chef and campaigner
 

• “Rob Hopkins is one of the world’s great optimists. He really believes that things can get better, and, when he’s around, they usually do. This book will lift your spirits and give you hope.”

—Brian Eno, musician, producer and artist
 

• “It’s easy to know what we’re fighting against: climate breakdown, social inequality and the destruction of nature. What’s harder, and arguably more important, is to get clear on what we’re fighting for. Rob has a gift of illuminating the better future that is possible and, critically, showing us where pockets of that future already live in the present. I shall carry around his latest book to ward off doom and despair and to remind myself of just what is possible when we allow ourselves to imagine.”

—Clover Hogan, climate activist; founder, Force of Nature
