There are so many reasons to be depressed and demoralised right now. Everything seems hopeless.
This book restored some of my hope while also reaffirming what I’ve learnt in all my other recent reads: that the only hope fit the human race is by working together.
One thing that absolutely stuck with me is: ‘No movements have failed after getting 10% of the nation’s population to be actively involved in their peak event. Most succeed after mobilising 3.5%.’
Just, you know, saying.
