— I’m a goddamn force of nature! — ••••••••••••••••••••••••• How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? Worsening climate crisis, global pandemic, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval… The Book of Hope by Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams, with Gail Hudson focuses on the amazing human intellect, the resilience of nature, the power of young people, and the indomitable human spirit. This is a rare and intimate look at not only the nature of hope but the heart and mind of a woman who revolutionized how we view the world around us and has spent a lifetime fighting for our future. Huge thanks to @celedonbooks for gifting me this important message to the world. This book releases on 10.19.21! ••••••••••••••••••••••••• #CeledonBooks #NonFiction #TheBookOfHope #JaneGoodall #DouglasAbrams #GailHudson #Hope #Bookstagram #Bookish #BookNerd #BooksAndNature #BooksOfInstagram #BooksOfInstsgram #BookAesthetic #BookPhotography #Books #TBR #PTMBooks @janegoodallinst (at Saint Joseph, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVJDXBDL5go/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just finished this book and I want to thank my amazing dad for always knowing what I need when I need it. This book has helped so much to transform me back into the loving, joyful person I used to be. I've still got a long way to go in healing from the severe wounds I received two years ago, but I am gradually releasing the anger and pain that darkened my heart since then. #lifeiswonderfulyouareloved #thebookofjoy #dalailama #desmondtutu #douglasabrams #bookstagram #bibliophile

“Many people on this planet worry about going to hell, but this is not much use. There is no need to be afraid. While we remain on the earth worrying about hell, about death, about all the things that could go wrong, we will have lots of anxiety, and we will never find joy and happiness. If you are truly afraid of hell, you need to live your life with some purpose, especially through helping others.” “So,” the Dalai Lama finally said,“I prefer to go to hell than to heaven. I can solve more problems in hell. I can help more people there.”
