We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast by Jonathan Safran Foer
5.0
Listened to the audiobook version. I found the narrative throughout this book beautiful and often touching.
The section where the author is having a conversation with himself was initially a little off-putting, but once I got into it, I found it really helpful to me personally as someone who struggles with all-or-nothing thinking about dietary choices and the stress and guilt that comes with that mindset.
As we watch the world burn it’s hard not to slowly drown in cynicism and hopelessness. I feel helpless even after fighting for the past 20+ years. This book was like a warm blanket wrapped around me, saying “It’s okay. Well, it’s not okay. But just keep going and do the best you can.”
