And Now For The Good News...

The much-needed tonic for our frazzled world

When was the last time that reading the news made you feel good?

Dear Reader,

I know what you're thinking, is it some kind of macabre joke? 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?

Let 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.

This 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.

So 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.

Love, Ruby

Reseñas de la Crítica

I think at this point in time we're all in need of as much good news as we can get! Ruby can always be guaranteed to lift your spirits!

In a world of relentlessly worrying news, finally a moment of good. I adored reading And Now for the Good News - truly there is hope

I adored interviewing Ruby: she has such a fizzing, uniquely vibrant and clever way of thinking about things. And I've wanted her on the podcast for ages because she does such important work

Easy-to-read and interesting take on (...) what's good in the world

In her imitable style, Ruby describes her global journey to hunt out people inventing a better world (...) self-compassion is at the heart of Ruby's philosophy

It's the antidote to all Covid angst life anxieties & proves that optimism is not an eye disease

I am reading and finding on every page a delicious morsel

It is nice even to think about Good News. Thank you for the book @Rubywax!

@Rubywax's New book is out on 17th September and it's GOOD NEWS.
She explores the goodness out there and how to cultivate it

This is a good read by my friend Ruby Wax and it's actually positive about the future, which I must say isn't something that often occurs to me about the future. Also, it's funny which I think is very important. And finally, Ruby has neither paid me, blackmailed me or threatened me to make me say this
