A review by catherineo
Screw Business As Usual by Richard Branson
4.0
It’s not often that the first thought I have on finishing a book it that I have to read it again.
When I was in my second year of University, I did a module on global warming. It was the last lecture on a Thursday afternoon and I’d cycle home feeling depressed. The lecturer was a cheerful bouncy young man who was keen to be there. He was easy to listen to and I looked forward to sitting in the lectures genuinely being interested in what I was hearing. The content however was enough to knock me into a down beat mood for the entire evening.
To make me cry, you talk about the planet. There’s a point where the information about how doomed we are, and more importantly how doomed the people who live in already difficult conditions are, seems so overwhelming that crying seems the only option.
This book gave a glimmer of hope.
