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 find Simard pleasant to read. When the Forest Breathes is her most recent afaik.

Against the Machine by Kingsnorth is top of my to-read pile. From the blurbs and leafing through it it seems to end on a fairly positive note.
