Über diesen Titel
“Masterful. The Anthropocene Reviewed is a beautiful, timely book about the human condition—and a timeless reminder to pay attention to your attention.”—Adam Grant, #1 bestselling author of Think Again and host of the podcast Re:Thinking
The instant #1 bestseller from John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars and Turtles All the Way Down, is now available with two brand-new essays!
“Gloriously personal and life-affirming. The perfect book for right now.”—People
“Essential to the human conversation.”—Library Journal, starred review
The Anthropocene is the current geologic age, in which humans have profoundly reshaped the planet and its biodiversity. In this remarkable symphony of essays, bestselling author John Green reviews different facets of the human-centered planet on a five-star scale—from the QWERTY keyboard and sunsets to Canada geese and Penguins of Madagascar. Funny, complex, and rich with detail, the reviews chart the contradictions of contemporary humanity.
John Green’s gift for storytelling shines throughout this masterful collection. The Anthropocene Reviewed is an open-hearted exploration of the paths we forge and an unironic celebration of falling in love with the world.
Audio exclusive! Three bonus essays!
©2021 John Green (P)2021 Penguin AudioKritikerstimmen
“The book is a review of humanity: how we grow, how we build, how we destroy, and how we observe ourselves. Many books succeed at making the personal universal, but this one also makes the universal personal.... This is a book about culture, about science and medicine, about Green himself, but really it surpasses these designations. It is essential to the human conversation. John Green whispered the truth of humanity onto the page, and as with all good secrets, you’ll need to lean in closely to hear.” (Library Journal, starred review)
“The Anthropocene Reviewed is the perfect book to read over lunch or to keep on your nightstand, whenever you need a reminder of what it is to feel small and human, in the best possible way.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
“There is something of the sermon in [Green’s] essays as he mixes curiosity and erudition with confession, compassion, and wit, searching for illuminating life lessons amid life’s dark chaos. His particular mix of irony and sincerity enables him to embrace both the sublime and the ridiculous.” (Booklist)
Loved it.

I wanted to change that, and chose this book as a start.
Well, this was not the expected result, scince it isn't really a novel, but my fault for going in blind.
This seemed very much like a detailed and long anthology of Johns part of the 'Vlog brothers' - not quite the same, but very close.
Some excerpts in here are already known to followers of that programm, but John still builds upon those mentions.
It is a wonderful reflection on the world and your place in it, and captures the struggles of a mentally ill person without with acceptans, instead of tearing oneself down or gloryfying the martyrdom. An issue which I can relate to. I can't however relate to religiosness and spirituality - topics to which I have extrem aversion.
John however deals with it wery well: he isn't gloryfying it or trying to push his beliefs on others, as he describes it only when relevant to the stories and his experience, focusing on the humanity around him and not the metaphysical believe.
The Anthropocene Reviewed - not what I expected, yet still very pleasant: 4 1/2 ⭐

With his almost romantic eye for detail, John manages to bring out a myriad of emotions and a sense of wonder out of even the most mundane sounding things with essays about grass and Canada Geese. All of this is ever so beautifully underlined by absolutely fantastic prose.
This book has made me appreciate life just a bit more, while also elevating my daily commute. To allow myself to just love things, without carefully keeping to the middle, hedging my bets, for risk that something eventually might be better - living in a perpetual perfectionist fallacy:
I give "The Anthropocene Reviewed" 5 out of 5 stars.
