Story
From the time she was a girl, Jane Goodall dreamed of a life spent working with animals. Finally she had her wish. When she was 26 years old, she ventured into the forests of Africa to observe chimpanzees in the wild. On her expeditions she braved the dangers with leopards and lions in the African bush. And she got to know an amazing group of wild chimpanzees - intelligent animals whose lives, in work and play and family relationships, bear a surprising resemblance to our own.

Story
The occasion was a big birthday. And it inspired two close friends to get together in Dharamsala for a talk about something very important to them. The friends were His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The subject was joy. Both winners of the Nobel Prize, both great spiritual masters and moral leaders of our time, they are also known for being among the most infectiously happy people on the planet.

Publisher's Summary
In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope?
This program is read by the authors and includes a bonus PDF.
Looking at the headlines - the worsening climate crisis, a global pandemic, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval - it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.
In this urgent audiobook, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living naturalist, and Douglas Abrams, the internationally best-selling coauthor of The Book of Joy, explore through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue one of the most sought-after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her "Four Reasons for Hope": The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.
Drawing on decades of work that has helped expand our understanding of what it means to be human and what we all need to do to help build a better world, The Book of Hope touches on vital questions, including: How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? How do we cultivate hope in our children? What is the relationship between hope and action? Filled with moving and inspirational stories and photographs from Jane’s remarkable career, The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of the most beloved figures in the world today.
While discussing the experiences that shaped her discoveries and beliefs, Jane tells the story of how she became a messenger of hope, from living through World War II to her years in Gombe to realizing she had to leave the forest to travel the world in her role as an advocate for environmental justice. And for the first time, she shares her profound revelations about her next, and perhaps final, adventure.
The second audiobook in the Global Icons series - which launched with the instant classic The Book of Joy with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu - The Book of Hope is a rare and intimate look not only at the nature of hope, but also into the heart and mind of a woman who revolutionized how we view the world around us and has spent a lifetime fighting for our future.
There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it.

Together
Hearing Jane’s voice helped me to connect with her story. We aren’t in this world alone, and the more we live with that understanding the better we can make choices.

Good read
The first few chapters made me think the book focused on climate change bit it was sooo much more than that. Jane is truly a remarkable human being!

Sharing a great and generous time
As a girl I studied 3 brave women who Louis Leakey set on a path to understand some of our wonders. I love listening to Jane’s voice. It is calm even sharing some of the horrors she has experienced. Loved this
