Book Review - Better Than We Found It: Conversations to Help Save the World

About the Book
In Better Than We Found It Conversations to Help Save the World, from the New York Times best-selling author of The Black Friend and a seasoned activist comes an indispensable guide to social and political progressivism for young people and anyone wanting to get more involved.

Every generation inherits the problems created by the ones before them, but no generation will inherit as many problems—as many crises—as the current generation of young people. From the devastations of climate change to the horrors of gun violence, from rampant transphobia to the widening wealth gap, from the lack of health care to the lack of housing, the challenges facing the next generation can feel insurmountable. But change, even revolution, is possible; you just have to know where to start. In Better Than We Found It, best-selling author Frederick Joseph and debut author Porsche Joseph make the case for addressing some of the biggest issues of our day. Featuring more than two dozen interviews with prominent activists, authors, actors, and politicians, this is the essential resource for those who want to make the world better than we found it.

My Take on the Book
This was an important book that covers so many topics that need to be discussed. In reading this book I found that I learned so much and I left the end of the book with a better understanding of things that I can do to help change the world in my own way. The conversations are written in a way that allows young people to be drawn into these conversations and really helps them to become activists in their own way.
