The Teens' Guide to Saving the World, by Aaditya Segupta Dhar, is a collection of stories of many teens who did something for the turbulent world around them. In this book, they all stand tall, whether as poverty pulverizers, wellbeing warriors, equality enthusiasts, or sustainability superstars. Each tale is an epic in itself, bringing another worthy hero to our midst.
Take the story of José Quisocala, his passion for finance, and his efforts to bring children out of poverty and becoming the youngest person on the planet to open his own bank. Or of Joshua’s Heart Foundation, an organization founded by a teen to help those less privileged than him.
Such inspiring stories make one thing clear. The world may look messed up, but redemption is not far away. Climate change, environmental degradation, growing inequality, or a dearth of opportunities, teenagers shall be there to roll up their sleeves.
This is a fantastic read of well-structured and easily flowing prose. I find it difficult to accept that it didn't come from an expert source. The book also gives us a lot of hope, the persistence and determination shown by the teenage heroes, both in addressing these issues and in formulating corrective actions are without parallel.
