There is plenty of bad news about the state of the world and the state of humanity. There are also many possibilities that surprise us by demonstrating examples of improvement, of better than expected outcomes beyond the daily news. Any book that can lift us over the doldrums may be just the "must read it" we were seeking.
Matt Ridley has written The Rational Optimist, How Prosperity Evolves, and you really must read it. I mean it! Read for yourself how brilliance can prevail in place of automatic pessimism. See how human life has consistently improved over the course of history. See how humanity creates, shares, and spreads wealth. Go for it!
