"The Book of Hope" by Jane Goodall & Douglas Abrams

book review by Riley Burnham 10/5/2022

good book; a delight to hear Jane & Douglas also narrating it

i enjoyed Jane's stories; her perspectives; her career & fruits, showing much about animal behavior

she mentioned some events that i sincerely question (man walking on moon, etc.), & lots  about viruses which i also am skeptical of

she said she took a job as a secretary early on, which led to her filling a secretary role in a field she was interested in; thus getting her foot in the door

interesting hearing her talk about speaking to the Bilderberg group in Davos [she pressed them for fervor & they responded w/ a prolonged standing-ovation, bringing her nearly to tears]

ultimately, it's nice hearing compassionate takes on society

one of my favorite anecdotes from the book was her daily shot/drink/glass of whiskey, which originated as a synchronized connection w/ her mom -- continuing onward in celebration/reverence: very cool

good times
