{"product_id":"9780241400654","title":"And Now For The Good News","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen was the last time that reading the news made you feel good?\u003cbr\u003eDear Reader,\u003cbr\u003eI know what you're thinking, is it some kind of macabre joke? Has she been in a coma? How can Ruby Wax write a book about good news when the world is facing the worst disaster since the Plague?\u003cbr\u003eLet me explain. I began writing in 2018, back when the world's worries were somewhat different. Climate change, greedy bankers, exam results, crap politicians, mental health: these are still HUGE ISSUES, but even the ancient soothsayers reading pig entrails couldn't have predicted this.\u003cbr\u003eThis is my new mission: to share the green shoots of hope peeping through the soil of civilization. Literacy is at an all-time high, world-hunger is likely to be eradicated this century, technological improvements are saving lives ­- just to scratch the surface. I've talked to everyone from leaders to scientists to tech geniuses. I've done the research and practiced what I preach. And my conclusion? Behind the clouds, the sun still shines.\u003cbr\u003eSo here's to the shoots - may they become a blueprint for how the world can shift for the good. Hopefully we'll learn from them.\u003cbr\u003eLove, Ruby\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Ruby+Wax\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eRuby Wax\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ruby Wax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379300679843,"sku":"9780241400654","price":380.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780241400654_b7fe84da-1330-494c-8493-f8beec90a9d1.jpg?v=1776463589","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780241400654","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
