About this Event
About the book:
A new generation of Americans believes another world is possible, yet inequality, climate change and declining health feel as stubborn as ever. So where might different answers lie?
Award-winning journalist Natasha Hakimi Zapata travelled from Costa Rica to Uganda and Estonia to Singapore to find out, interviewing ministers, activists and the people living with the results. From Singapore’s affordable public housing to Costa Rica’s biodiversity law and Finland’s public schools, she takes a clear-eyed look at what each policy costs, what it delivers and what it took to get there. A hopeful, frame-shifting read on how we might live differently.
Why we chose it: “Gul is undoubtedly right that we need to measure innovation against a lot of different metrics, not just market capitalisation” - Bloomberg

Your hosts for the evening
Sruthi Ravi
Sruthi spent a lot of time trying to find the right book club before RBC came along. She loves watching cricket, curling up with a good book, and to travel the world.
Dreamer, bookworm and feminist, Sruthi loves to meet new people, and learn more about the world we live in.
Most impactful RBC moment: "The most impactful book have been the ones that have challenged me to look at how I live my life. These books empowered me to make changes to my sleep habits, and change my actions as a consumer, as a friend/partner and as a member of society."
Emma Noller
Emma is a neuro-spicy, chaotic good character who has been teaching for the past 8 years. A former London RBC member, she is so excited to be a part of bringing this amazing experience to Sydney. She can’t wait to reconnect with the amazing people and opportunities that RBC is known for.
She loves travel, connecting with people and thinks that learning is a life-long journey. Why not do it in the most creative ways you can!
Most impactful RBC moment: "Discussing Lost Connections with a psychologist who changed our point of view. She did this by disagreeing with what the author was saying about reliance on Medic*tion. It was a lens I hadn’t looked through reading the book; this actually started my journey on learning more about my ADHD, how my brain can work for me and finding the support networks I needed to be the most efficient and creative I could be."
