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'm so sorry that happened to you! I wish you a wide and strong social support net of friends and allies to catch you! Love and solidarity <3

It is all fine. It has been over the course of many years and most of it was 20+ years ago.

The current threats are on the rise, maybe because being rightwing is more acceptable fight now.

The local right wing scene has always existed, but right now a few more younger, more active members, so more threats and posturing or at thrown bottle, but no hard violence.

Thank you for your support.
