Say Goodbye to Doomsday

Beschreibung

Only The Top 15% Can See Beyond the Doom-Which Side Are You On?" The world screams crisis-climate collapse, pandemics, war-while 85% of people drown in despair. But what if the doomsday narrative is a dangerous illusion? In "Say Goodbye to Doomsday", Stephanie K.L. Lam-linguist and Buddhist wisdom translator-exposes the hidden breakthroughs already forging a brighter future. You know that crushing weight when you check the news - another climate disaster, another crisis, another reason to feel helpless about our future. But what if you're only seeing half the story? While doomscrolls dominate headlines, a quiet revolution is already underway. Scientists are reversing environmental damage, communities are building resilient systems, and ordinary people are creating extraordinary solutions. This book reveals how to shift from anxious observer to empowered builder of a future worth fighting for. After translating ancient Buddhist texts on impermanence, Stephanie had an epiphany: "Collapse is inevitable-but so is rebirth." She spent 3 years tracking down the rebels quietly solving humanity's greatest threats:A lab in Iceland turning CO¿ into stone African farmers outsmarting drought with ancient techniques "Post-doom" psychologists teaching how to thrive in uncertainty "This Book Rewired My Brain!" - Readers Who Escaped the Doom Trap
