I Eat the Stars: How to Live Fully and Beautifully in a Collapsing World

"From New York Times bestselling author Sarah Wilson comes a deeply moving, wise guide to finding joy and meaning in a world that seems to be falling apart. Things are not going back to 'normal'. How we choose to live will shape the next era. "A book for dark times that is filled with light and hope."- Peter Frankopan It's hard to escape the feeling that something is deeply wrong . . . that life has become precariously off-balance. We are hit hourly with headlines about catastrophic wildfires, unprecedented flooding, record heat waves, collapsing democracies, AI and nuclear threat, rising economic inequality, widespread unrest and more. In I Eat the Stars, Sarah Wilson argues we are undergoing what every complex civilisation before us has - systemic collapse. I Eat the Stars is the brave new global book that explores what life might look like when the systems we rely on begin to fail, and how we can avoid succumbing to doom and despair. Drawing on years of research and wisdom from more than 200 conversations with energy futurists, philosophers, economists, the leading existential risk experts, game theorists, and spiritual leaders, Wilson explores: · Why confronting the reality of collapse gives us clarity and agency, and brings us back to what matters to us at human level · What the 'tech bros' are doing and why they are building AI they say will kill us · How to plan for an uncertain future - do we have kids? Do we become preppers? · What do we actually need to be doing now (because no one else seems to have a plan!) With her warm, incisively intelligent, and down-to-earth voice, and told through her renegade experiences, Wilson empowers readers to move beyond panic in the face of a dark and uncertain future. This is a guide to living with truth, purpose, justice, and creativity, helping us to step up as "warriors of the human spirit" and meet the moment. I Eat the Stars is a book for anyone who feels despair when thinking of the future; Wilson confronts our collective anxieties head-on, finding beauty, meaning, and humanity despite the chaos. We are experiencing a future that we were warned about for decades. But from a crisis comes stunning possibility. "Straight to the beating heart of what we all need to hear." - Liam Neeson "Chilling and important" - Johann Hari 'If we can keep Sarah Wilson and David Attenborough forever, there will always be beacons of possibility to guide us.' - Lena Headey"

Hope by Terry Fox

"Featuring excerpts from Terry’s very own Marathon of Hope journal, Hope by Terry Fox shares the untold story of a well known hero — the goofy, resilient, and courageous 21-year-old who rallied a nation behind his mission. In 1976, when Terry Fox was just eighteen years old, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and his right leg was amputated just above the knee. It quickly became his mission to help cure cancer so others would not have to endure what he had gone through. He dreamed up a Marathon of Hope — a fundraising run across Canada, from St. John’s, Newfoundland, to Victoria, British Columbia. 5,300 miles. When he set off on April 12, 1980, Canadians were dubious. But as he continued across the country, enthusiasm grew to a frenzy. Sadly, Terry’s cancer returned, and after 143 days and 3,339 miles, he was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope. He passed away in 1981, but the nation picked up his mission where he left off, and the annual Terry Fox Run has even spread to cities around the world, raising more than $850 million to date — well over Terry’s goal of one dollar for every Canadian. After conducting over fifty interviews with people throughout Terry’s life — ranging from his siblings, nurses, and coaches to volunteers during the Marathon of Hope — editor Barbara Adhiya discovers how Terry was able to run a marathon a day. Through their stories, passages from Terry’s marathon journal, and over 200 photos and documents, Hope by Terry Fox shows that with enough resilience, determination, humility, and support, ordinary people can do impossible things."

Mind Games

"Arthur Ellis award–winning William Deverell’s 2003 bestseller In Mind Games, William Deverell returns to the intriguing territory of the law and lawyers and of human psychology and motivation, and he does so in familiar Deverell sur­roundings: the streets, courtrooms, and waters of Vancouver. Dr. Tim Dare is a forensic psychiatrist whose life is in a mess: his wife has just left him to find herself; his mother is being sued for libel by a small-town mayor over a mystery novel; he’s been made the monitor of a man just out of psychiatric hospital, a man he considers a psychopathic murderer; he’s being hauled before a disciplinary committee for “misplacing” a file; one of his patients is “transferring” feelings to him rather too romantically; and now someone’s threatening to kill him. He can’t even get into an elevator without falling apart. No wonder he thinks he needs to see a shrink himself. Under the guidance of fellow psychiatrist Dr. Allison Epstein, Dare gradually learns how to face the demons within — and those in the real world that are really out to get him."
