Excellent Choice: Essays on Trying to be Good in a Horrible World by Grant Sharkey
Paperback RRP £9.99
The next decade is going to be awful for most of us - there will be chaos, uncertainty, mental health crises, finger-pointing, desperation, violence, division and death.
Grant Sharkey has found the best way to navigate the turmoil is to take ownership of every decision we make; from ineffectually fighting with strangers to how we pleasantly say 'good morning' to the people we love.
Terrible choices will only add to the mess, OK choices will only prolong it.
But we can change our world, positively and with purpose, by making excellent choices from now on.
Written during the turmoil of 2020 as a way to keep a level head in the mess of misinformation and fear that bubbled up.
