In a world of relentlessly worrying news, finally a moment of good. I adored reading And Now for the Good News - truly there is hope

Easy-to-read and interesting take on (...) what's good in the world

@Rubywax's New book is out on 17th September and it's GOOD NEWS.
She explores the goodness out there and how to cultivate it
*Miranda Hart*

This is a good read by my friend Ruby Wax and it's actually positive about the future, which I must say isn't something that often occurs to me about the future. Also, it's funny which I think is very important. And finally, Ruby has neither paid me, blackmailed me or threatened me to make me say this
