James Mayor’s Reviews > It’s Better Than It Looks: Reasons for Optimism in an Age of Fear > Status Update

Excellent reminder (with plenty of facts/figures to back it all up) of just how much better off we all are these days (health, discrimination, etc., etc.). The whole take on it? Social media and prejudiced media are one of the three main causes for today's widespread pessimism. The other? Our growing penchant for expecting and luxuriating in negativity. This isn't a pie-in-sky book, but a wake-up call. Great book!
