I was somewhat familiar with McKibben and knew of his concern for the environment. Yet, after reading this important book, I am a forever fan.
I especially appreciated his honesty and directness regarding the pluses and minuses of the past as well as the present, His incredible writing, from his childhood intertwined with the present and future was a true testament to what has been negatively done and how we can, hopefully, correct or at least, attempt to make the world a better place.
The message for me (being approximately the same age as the author), is to get out there and take a stand for what you believe which should, hopefully benefit all of us. His creation of 350.0rg is a proud accomplishment of his. In view of the state of the country today, this is a must-read.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* this was a great read, enjoyed reading it and all the fact it had in it! would reread to make sure i got everything tough!

I am so thrilled to have been given the opportunity to listen to this book. McKibben is an important voice. I enjoyed his personal narrative, especially about Lexington, not far from my home of the last twenty plus years.

His analysis of our society and cultural norms as well as our challenges is spot on. Yes, some will reject his analysis, but I found it enlightening and insightful. This is an important read/listen for our tribalized, bifurcated reality.

Interesting read right now, specially in our current political environment. Lots of fun deep dive enjoy your belly
