    If you liked Enlightenment Now (and perhaps even if you didn't), you'll like Gregg Easterbrook's "It's Better Than It Looks."https://www.publicaffairsbooks.com/titles/gregg-easterbrook/its-better-than-it-looks/9781610397421/ …

        In France there is Michel Serres defending similar ideas, I liked his little book "C'était mieux avant". Thank you for your amazing work.

        I'm enjoying your book very much Steven. Although looking at my Twitter feed one wouldn't think there has been this much progress. Keep spreading the good word.

        Pinker says that it looks great while promoting a book that states “it’s better than it looks” which one is it Steve? Try this read for a more sensible approachhttps://medium.com/@EissesMatthew/hubris-the-human-condition-557ffd3da9d?source=linkShare-167bb6c41bfa-1522197936 …

        Here might be an unusual question, but is there anything you recommend with a diametrically opposed view to yours? Just interested in hearing a plurality of voices.

        Problem is all these good outcomes in the last 40 years could be correlated to the mountains of debt that has been created over the same time period! The world's debt level is unprecedented, and can never be paid back.

        Is this Enlightenment Now for people who are justifying going home with a bad decision after a night at the pub?

        Enlightenment Now was great. Are the two different enough to justify reading both?
