How Not to Save the World: Anthea Lawson in conversation with Anouchka Grose
Description
Join us when we welcome author and campaigner Anthea Lawson to discuss her book HOW NOT TO SAVE THE WORLD with Anouchka Grose,
HOW NOT TO SAVE THE WORLD is a book about doing good, for anyone who has looked at politics or public discourse and thought, ‘we need better than this.’ The fervour that drives us to change the world can create blind spots, where we don’t see our own behaviour, or disregard it because the cause is urgent.
Realistic, candid and hopeful, How Not To Save the World is a sympathetic exploration of alternatives to righteousness, purity traps and other unhelpful habits. It shows that there are ways to work together for what matters, without alienating the people we need to convince.
