Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take
Creating the World We Want to Live In
Bridget Grenville-Cleave Β· 2021
76/100
π Worth It
Seven international positive psychology researchers pool their expertise to ask what flourishing looks like at the scale of communities, economies, and the planet β a much-needed expansion beyond the usual self-optimization framing. The writing is accessible enough to reach past academics, and the hopeful-but-grounded tone lands well. Some chapters stay introductory where readers may want more depth.
β¦ Penny’s Take β this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β not a page-by-page personal one. The gold β Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
