ReviewsWhile it's true I only have 10 of the 100 Skills You'll Need for the End of the World (as We Know It) , thanks to Ana Maria Spagna's cheerfully reassuring text and Brian Cronin's charmingly practical illustrations, I am confident I'll be able to handle any and all catastrophes our planet throws at me! -- Susan Beth Pfeffer, author of Life As We Knew It / The Last Survivor series Move over, 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Save the Earth. In this trusty little volume, Ana Maria Spagna has created a handbook for how to be a better human: more self-sufficient, more cooperative and kind-hearted, more in tune with your surroundings. This is no mere primer on reskilling; it's a humor-infused exploration of how to live more lightly on the planet while getting in touch with your more virtuous self. -- Jennifer Sahn, editor of Orion magazine

"not worth the money spent on the book"
Basically just a list of skills, but nothing about obtaining the skills. And the skills listed are the obvious ones.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
