This month, join us to discuss The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times by Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams. We'll be meeting at Lower Cascades Park (2851 Old State Road 37, Bloomington).

Book 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 Douglas 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. 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? There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it."
