Good News

Wars, pandemics, and natural disasters: The world has been in a state of permanent crisis for years. And we are right in the middle of it through our daily news consumption. This has consequences: More and more people are looking at the world helplessly, many feel almost paralyzed, and mental health issues such as depression and burnout are on the rise.

However, the bleak picture of the current situation is disproportionately one-sided. There is so much more positive news to share. In this book, Florian Vitello explains how we can defend ourselves against the distorted perception of the world presented by the media, and dares to take a fact-based look at the enormous potential of humanity, in the spirit of Hans Rosling. This includes, alongside a fundamental change in the media landscape, rediscovering our sense of agency and focusing more on the good and the commonalities—without turning a blind eye to the significant challenges of the present and future.
