You're not alone. One morning, Caitlin Moran lay in bed and realised she had finally reached Peak Despair. The point where, in books and movies, the heroine decides to move to a remote farmhouse, walk an ancient, 600-mile pathway, or adopt a baby hare. The moment where someone goes on a quest to find... hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut this—this is not that kind of book. Caitlin tried—but it turns out remote Welsh farmhouses are really expensive. No-one with a job can walk 600 miles. And it's incredibly hard to get access to baby hares in Crouch End.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd so, Caitlin decides instead to go on a domestic quest. To see if you can stay in the same house, in the same neighbourhood, but feel better about the frantic modern world by trying to make better days. Leaving social media, eschewing 24\/7 news for local newspapers, sitting on buses without headphones, and listening to what people are really saying. Picking litter, donating blood, rewilding a garden, and the hardest thing of all—learning to fall back in love with the world again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the course of a year, Caitlin finds that life can be radically transformed when you rebel against the news cycle and algorithms that want to keep us angry, adrenalised, and anxious. You can't change the world—but you can change your days. And, once you've changed your days, maybe you could change the world. Just a little bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeing hopeful is a decision. \u003cem\u003eHow to Be Hopeful\u003c\/em\u003e is the diary of how one person made that change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47727580053740,"sku":"9781529974805","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781529974805-how-to-be-hopeful.jpg?v=1781143717","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/how-to-be-hopeful-by-caitlin-moran-9781529974805","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
