Has she been in a coma? How can Ruby Wax write a book about good news when the world is facing the worst disaster since the Plague? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet me explain. I began writing in 2018, back when the world's worries were somewhat different. Climate change, greedy bankers, exam results, crap politicians, mental health: these are still HUGE ISSUES, but even the ancient soothsayers reading pig entrails couldn't have predicted this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is my new mission: to share the green shoots of hope peeping through the soil of civilization. Literacy is at an all-time high, world-hunger is likely to be eradicated this century, technological improvements are saving lives  - just to scratch the surface. I've talked to everyone from leaders to scientists to tech geniuses. I've done the research and practiced what I preach. And my conclusion? Behind the clouds, the sun still shines. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo here's to the shoots - may they become a blueprint for how the world can shift for the good. Hopefully we'll learn from them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLove, Ruby\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax, Ruby","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":51789082689875,"sku":"XG80241400654","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"New","offer_id":44242430558498,"sku":"9780241400654","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/wax-ruby-and-now-for-the-good-news-tpb-9780241400654-40229362303266.jpg?v=1672508682","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/and-now-for-the-good-news-tpb","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
