The Carbon Almanac

When it comes to the climate, we don't need more marketing or anxiety. We need established facts and a plan for collective action.

The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics.

The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and leaders that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. With thousands of data points, articles and charts explaining carbon's impact on everything in our society, from our the economy to extreme weather events, it is the definitive source for facts and the basis for a global movement to fight climate change.

This book isn't what the oil companies, marketers, activists, or politicians want you to believe. This is what's really happening, right now. Our planet is in trouble, and no one concerned group, corporation, country, or hemisphere can

address this on its own. We are in this together. And it's not too late for concerted, collective action for change.

Reviews

A valuable tool in fighting the (mis)information wars that are part of a strategy to dilute, confuse and diminish the climate change narrative. A valuable, timely and important book. Buy it and give it to your children and relevant policy makers too.

—— Simon Cocking , Irish Tech News

This is a truly refreshing, captivating and important book that shifted my perception on a topic I thought I knew! A must read.

—— Steven Bartlett, entrepreneur and host of 'The Diary of a CEO'

A fascinating and important pushback against the narrow, joy-eroding version of 'resilience' that would leave us to sink or swim alone, Fortitude is an indispensable guide to a more energising, human, and effective approach to working and thriving in a post-pandemic world.

—— Oliver Burkeman, author of 'Four Thousand Weeks'

Surprising and challenging. Fortitude encouraged me to re-think not only my work but how I live my life.

—— Sarah Ellis, co-author of 'The Squiggly Career'

A book that confirms what I've always believed, that we can't be resilient on our own. In fact resilience is about all of us being stronger than any of us.

—— Gary Lineker

A much needed book that unfolds the surprising secrets of resilience. Something I never knew I needed to read but I'm so glad I did, its opened up a whole angle of thinking.

—— Nadiya Hussain

A fascinating analysis of resilience - what it is, what is isn't and why, when we develop it together, it becomes something better and more important, fortitude. It seems that resilience is a team game.

—— Alastair Campbell

Entertaining. Engaging. Educating. Three words that sum up this cracking read, which offers a timely - and much needed - challenge to the traditional definition on resilience.

—— Professor Damian Hughes, co-host of the 'High Performance' podcast

Fortitude explores and validates what most of us who work with people feel in our gut when it comes to debunking doctrine about resilience and singular toughness. A fantastic contribution.

—— Dr Pippa Grange, author of 'Fearless', former Head of People & Team Development at The Football Association

Deeply thoughtful, provocative and insightful Fortitude will push you to question assumptions, think again about your life narrative and probably care more about your friends and community.

—— Professor Lynda Gratton

Is "resilience" more than blaming victims and telling them they need to act stronger? This wonderful book is Bruce Daisley's personal quest - through his personal experiences and his appetite for digesting rigorous research - to learn about the overused concept of resilience. What Bruce learns is intriguing and important, and hopefully will help us become better parents, leaders, and friends.

—— Professor Daniel Cable, author of 'Alive at Work'

A riveting read - Fortitude lifts the lid on the orthodoxy of Resilience and shows us where true strength lies. Fortitude is a tour de force.

—— Julia Hobsbawm, author of 'The Nowhere Office'

One of the UK's leading "workfluencers" [offers] up ahead-of-the-curve takes on the future of workplace cultures . . . Fortitude is an easy to read and well-research book that will appeal to anyone . . . Daisley challenges some of the empowerment narratives that have become unquestioned staples of organisational life . . . [and] offers "fortitude" as an alternative.

—— Financial Times

An absolute revelation . . . It's with collective support that you can develop resilience. Your own resilience or individual fortitude is not something you do or don't have, it comes from the extent to which you are supported by others. The extent to which people face these issues of resilience is massively divined by the structural inequalities we face.

—— Ed Miliband

Fantastic

—— Geoff Lloyd
