The must-read, pocket-sized Big Think book of 2020

It feels like the world is falling apart. So how do we keep hold of


our optimism? How do we nurture the parts of ourselves that hope,
trust and believe in something better? And how can we stay sane in
this world of division?

In this beautifully written and illuminating polemic, Booker Prize


nominee Elif Shafak reflects on our age of pessimism, when
emotions guide and misguide our politics, and misinformation and
fear are the norm.

A tender, uplifting plea for optimism, Shafak draws on her own


memories and delves into the power of stories to reveal how writing
can nurture democracy, tolerance and progress. And in the process,
she answers one of the most urgent questions of our time.
