Steven Pinker

I love that I get an email that I WANT to read, I save it up for a time when I can relax with a coffee or glass of wine.  Always so interesting, lots of little rabbit holes to go down and learn something new.  I particularly like that it is positive and uplifting, the world can seem depressing with horrible events, wars, global warming etc, and I feel so helpless.  Reading about people or organisations  making huge changes for good in our world is so inspiring.  Love love love what you do.

Annie Desantis

If your days are filled with repeat reminders of the evil and pain that humans can wreak on other humans, and you are tired of feeling depressed and disoriented by multiple sensationalized reports of lying, abuse and greed, you need a weekly dose of Fix The News. Let it motivate and inspire you to be part of the solution instead of being overwhelmed by the problem.

David Hunter

This newsletter is a powerful antidote to the despair that is so often presented in the 24/7 media environment. The collation of stories from around the world of humans showing care and compassion, to people and the environment, as well as amazing technological and scientific breakthroughs unveils hope in our world. The essays articulate profound engagement with the challenges of today and provide thoughtful sounding boards to begin (and continue) discussions with others. Thanks to the team!

One of the most powerful newsletters I've ever come across for challenging my worldview and reminding me that there is no single narrative about the direction we're heading. When I read this, I'm reminded of Desiderata: "...the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism... And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."

Kaila Colbin

A massive infusion of clarity and inspiration. It changed my life and still does every time I read it.

Braha Bender

I think it's the one newsletter everyone needs in their inbox and the only one I am happily paying for. It's filled to the brim with hope, and if there's one thing we need these days, it's hope. Unlike other news outlets that make you feel sad to be alive in this age of turmoil, it makes you feel glad to be alive in this age of wonder. To me, it offers a weekly glimpse at a future I want to be a part of.

Bess Klein

The antidote to the bitter taste of mainstream news.  Mainstream news shines a spotlight on the dog poo on the cracked sidewalk, while Future Crunch casts a sunrise glow across the splendid architecture of the City.

Jim Wiggins

Reading this newsletter is like taking a mental health vitamin for anyone who is otherwise paying attention to the world and news. These stories aren’t getting the attention. They deserve in the mainstream. I recommend this over and over to worried idealists.

Edith Buhs

There is no newsletter out there that compares. Each edition is full of news that you simply can’t easily find in mainstream media, with live links for more in-depth reads, but more than all that this newsletter has a soul.

Marian DeSimone

A fantastic synthesis of the hidden good news in the world that is hard for most people to find. The newsletter format is excellent; a sentence or two summarises each piece of information, and you don't have to read more, but if you want to go deeper, there is a link to the original article. The newsletter is always a highlight in my day and never fails to make me feel more optimistic about the world.

Tineke Fancourt

Hands-down my favorite source of news. My heart lifts each time I see a new issue pop into my inbox, because I know I'll learn fascinating new things and be inspired by examples of unexpected progress around the globe.

Amelia Hard

It provides a healthy and much-needed balance to the constant stream of problem-focused information that bombards us. They don’t ignore or minimize our challenges, but show that these challenges are being addressed creatively and effectively all over the globe. This newsletter has been a lifeline over the past few years.

Cindy Morefield

My favourite source of news. It brings you the good news stories you don’t hear about and gives you the links to their reputable sources. You can keep updated and feel energised and optimistic. It starts my weekend with a smile.

Suri Poulos

Whenever I sit down and read my email I know what’s coming …. A flood of hope, pride and all over feel good about who we are and where we are going.

Lyndsay Finney

In a world increasingly focused on doom-scrolling through the latest tragedies and catastrophes, this newsletter is a beacon of hope and inspiration -- documenting technological breakthroughs, economic and political progress and the indomitable power of the human spirit.

Seth Bain

My favourite newsletter I receive. Provides links to thought provoking articles and news that uplifts vs educes anxiety or angst. I try hard to curate the information I intake and I never consider cutting this out.

Matthew Heffernan

It provides reassurance that there are still amazing people all over the planet who care and desire to create positive change and are actually taking action to do so. It also provides information about the remarkable power of technologies to improve environments and lives without all the fear around AI. I couldn’t do what the team here do. It’s A LOT of searching, reading, analysis and research. They take care of all of it and provides me and my Ioved ones with the best bits.

Carly Postill

Hopeful yet smart and with the right amount of criticism. No green washing here. Lifts my spirit every week.

Ting-Sheng Liao

The best way to restore your faith in humanity. Whether it's a feel good story about the work of a single nurse, or a the mins blowing statistics of organizations making huge impacts, it's always great to read. I look forward to every edition and it helps levelset me in this chaotic world.

Kevin Cavanagh

This newsletter is an excellent summary of largely unknown, positive things happening in all areas of human endeavor... very powerful and heartening to read. It has made a subtle difference in my overall mood... well worth the price!!

David Low

It’s so inspiring, heart warming reading all the good news and sometimes when I read so many positive facts at once I get tears in my eyes because I’m so moved and hopeful and I‘m thinking „ stick that in your pipe and smoke it you damn pessimists and skeptics 👊💪!!! You guys have a very humane, down to earth and fun way of communicating and can write and explain exceptionally well. You are idealistic, altruistic and care for the wellbeing of the planet and I would be happy and honoured if I could meet you or even collaborate with you some day!!

Kim Greve

The water in the desert that reminds me that there are more people in the world trying to make good than bad and that our efforts to make positive, sustainable change matter. Getting this newsletter is like hearing from close friends and I always come out of reading it in a better mood. It does not erase the scary things that are happening in the world, nor does it pretend they don't exist. It simply provides me with the hope to maintain my sanity and move forward in this crazy world we call home (the only one we've ever known)!

Jade Burchett

I look forward to seeing this newsletter in my mailbox when it arrives. Sometimes I save it for when I have a half hour or more, a warm beverage, and can really dig into some of the fascinating stories that Angus and Rose manage to find. Other times I digest it in small chunks, taking a bit at a time. Each newsletter provides me with a bit of unexpected dinner party conversation, and the source material to back up my facts!
