Australian Jack Toohey, whose video takedown of the state of the housing market went viral two years ago, is adamant people shouldn't give up, but should turn up - and use what he calls 'rebellious hope' along with innovative solutions, to fix some big systemic issues.

His book - Better Things are Possible -  moves between the personal, including his mental health challenges, his approach of radical acceptance that things are wrong with the world; to practical ideas for fixing things like housing, climate, toxic social media and politics.
