Price and shipping date confirmed at launch.
Our mission
There are plenty of good things happening in the world.
This book helps you see it in a much more positive light.
Most people think the world is getting worse
Your brain treats every threat as real.
Bad news sells — ten negative stories for every positive one.
Every crisis on Earth now reaches you the same day.
This book puts the missing half back: twenty-two stories of what measurably improved.
Where most of us sit, and where the evidence actually points.
What's inside
Over twenty stories, told properly
Twenty-two stories from the year, each reported as a full chapter — the finding, the count behind it, the people it ran through, and the part that is still unsolved.
How each story begins
One page, one finding
Every story opens on a full page of photography, with its finding stated in a single line.
Maps & charts
Numbers you can read at a glance
Counts, comparisons and maps run through the whole book, each one with its source named underneath.
See it before you order it
A book is hard to judge from a screen, so here is ours being flipped through on camera — the weight of the cover, the paper, the size of the photographs and how a chapter actually reads.
Between the chapters
Meanwhile…
Between the long chapters sits a recurring break spread: nine shorter pieces of the year's good news, each one in a sentence or two.
Made to give, and made to keep
The perfect gift
For the person who has stopped watching the news, or the teenager who never started. Hardcover and heavy enough to feel like a present — add a handwritten note at checkout and we send it straight to them.
It fixes your view of the world
Twenty-two researched stories in which things genuinely got better. It is hard to finish the book and still believe everything is coming apart.
Printed on recycled paper
Hardcover, printed on recycled stock, with photographs across every spread. A book that stays on the table rather than a feed you scroll past.

We have been doing this on YouTube for years
Good News is a YouTube channel where we go looking for the best things happening in the world and explain what is actually behind them. Half a million people watch, and the message we get back most often is that it changed how they read the news.
The book is that work in print — the stories we could never fit into a video, researched properly and made to keep.
Good to know
What exactly is this book? +
A hardcover collection of the year's genuine good news — more than twenty stories, written as full chapters rather than headlines. Each one is reported from the research behind it: the count, why it worked, and what still stands in the way.
What is it made of? +
Hardcover, printed on recycled paper, with large photographs, maps and charts across every spread. It is built to be handled, given away and kept rather than read once.
When does it ship? +
Pre-orders ship with the first print run. Join the email list and we will send the confirmed date before anything is charged.
Where do the stories and numbers come from? +
Published research and official records — national surveys, agency data and peer-reviewed estimates. Every figure in the book carries a caption naming its source.
Is it suitable for teenagers? +
Yes. The writing is for adults but stays plain, and the spreads are built around images, maps and charts. It reads well from about fourteen upwards, and several chapters work in a classroom.
Can I order more than one copy? +
Yes — gift copies can be sent directly with a note, and there is reduced pricing on sets of ten or more for schools and teams. Ask us for a quote.
