An empowering, uplifting set of practical and transformative solutions for remaking society, inspired by the Reasons to be Cheerful podcast 'Enthralling.

I hope everyone with the slightest interest in the way the world works will read it' PHILIP PULLMAN ______ Good news- the solutions to our problems already exist. Great news- a once-in-a-generation appetite for change means we can make them happen.

The big questions that society is asking itself are tackled here. Across the world, increasing numbers of people are seeing inequality and climate concerns as problems that need to be tackled on local, national and international scales. Former Opposition Leader Ed Miliband has been presenting a podcast asking the big questions of leaders and here the ideas are distilled into a book. I was surprised as I don't listen to the podcast and my impression of Miliband was not overly positive based on his political persona but this book is very personable. Obviously it is extremely well-researched and, whilst there is a little left-wing bias, it is not overtly preachy, rather it gives balanced arguments and considered examples. ( )
