Waking up from another anxious night of sleep, doomscrolling on your phone and feeling the familiar thud of dread in your chest as you watch the news: sound familiar? One morning, Caitlin Moran awakes and realises that she has reached Peak Despair. In a world of worsening news, increasing tribalism and digital addiction, is it any wonder that we all feel so terrible? So, Caitlin wonders: what might be done? She starts with a Big Plan to escape to the country. But, after nearly bankrupting her family in an ill-advised bid to escape societal doom, Caitlin realises that true change starts not in escaping, but in a reckoning with ourselves. If we step back from the algorithm and take care of ourselves and each other, might amazing change be possible? And so, ditching the news, eschewing social media and throwing herself into the analogue world just beyond our screens, Caitlin shows how recognizing the goodness in the everyday can be a radical act of rebellion against the fear and anxiety of modern life. From the magic of becoming a renegade litter-picker to the joy of finding exercise that your body loves, How To Be Hopeful is an essential, serotonin-boosting companion for anyone looking to reclaim their optimism amidst global chaos, reminding us that our own revolution of hope is never far away.

<i>"This book is about where I came from, what I fought against, and what I chose for myself. Fame can blur the truth; this is my attempt to bring it back into focus."</i><br/><br/>A legendary actor and Hollywood Icon whose five-decade career spans film, television, and producing, Michael Douglas has won two Academy Awards, a BAFTA Award, five Golden Globes, a Primetime Emmy, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and the AFI Life Achievement Award, among many others.<br/><br/>Douglas starred in and produced some of the most successful movies of all time, including <i>One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest</i>, <i>Romancing the Stone</i>, <i>The China Syndrome</i>, <i>Fatal Attraction</i>, <i>Black Rain,</i> <i>Wall Street</i>, <i>Basic Instinct,</i> <i>Disclosure</i>, <i>The Game, Wonder Boys, Traffic,</i> and <i>Behind the Candelabra</i>. His films have defined cultural moments and sometimes whole decades.<br/><br/>In this raw, career-sweeping memoir, he tells the unfiltered story of his life. Initially dismissed as only Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas' handsome son, Douglas stunned Hollywood and the world when he won his first Oscar at just thirty years old for producing the multi-Academy Award winning classic <i>One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest</i>. Once told he would be nothing more than a television actor, he walked off the hit series <i>The Streets of San Francisco</i> to become a global movie star whose films have grossed billions of dollars. Rejected for serious acting roles that he saw go to his Hollywood pals Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty, he refused to be typecast and won his second Academy Award for his iconic performance as Gordon Gekko in <i>Wall Street</i>.<br/><br/>Beginning with Douglas's childhood and complicated relationship with his father, the memoir traces his path to success with news-breaking behind-the-scenes stories of his rise to fame. Yet as Douglas's fame rose, so did his personal struggles, and here for the first time is the full, candid story of the challenges he and his family faced, from affairs with some of the most celebrated actresses in Hollywood, his own serious drug addiction which threaten to destroy his first marriage and career, the heartbreaking battle to save his son from a terrible drug addiction that sent him to federal prison at thirty-one years old, and an against-all-odds battle with stage four cancer. His love affair with Oscar winner Catherine Zeta Jones was initially dismissed as just another Hollywood relationship, but they proved the skeptics wrong about their age gap and stayed together through relationship troubles, health issues, tabloid gossip and are still going strong after twenty-five years of marriage.
