Hopeful books about our future (lemmy.zip)

I'm looking for non-fiction books that make hope for the future. I'm burnt out.

I have done it all, for I don't know, 30plus years now. From vegan cooking on the streets, protests, sit-ins, urban gardening projects, rural gardening, reforestation, so many things, from big movements to small projects, everything.

For various reasons, not all political, I'm pretty down and feel everything is doomed.

Any books that are more positive, we are making it or at least de could make it?

I would really apppreciate some recommendations. English or German.

I would search for non-fiction Solarpunk. Check out The day the world stops shopping by J.B. MacKinnon or Sixty Harvests Left by Philip Lymbery or The Carbon Almanac: It's Not Too Late or The Rights of Nature: A Legal Revolution That Could Save the World by David R Boyd or Half-Earth Socialism: A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change and Pandemics by Troy Vettesse
