Twenty transformative solutions, inspired by the Reasons to be Cheerful podcastTwenty transformative solutions, inspired by the Reasons to be Cheerful podcastThink of any problem that we face and there is already a solution out there. We just need to know where to look - and have the courage to think big. All around the world, people are successfully putting into action ingenious ways to tackle everything from inequality and climate crisis to the challenges of housing, technology and demographic change. In his award-winning podcast Reasons to Be Cheerful, Ed Miliband has captured the imagination of millions by investigating how these schemes came about and why they work. In Go Big, he shows that a different world is entirely possible and how to get there by combining the best and most ambitious of these solutions - on a large scale. We stand at one of those rare moments in history when most people think big change is needed. The opportunity is immense if we can come together, and it is the solutions that will unite us. It' s time to Go Big.
A new book by Mr Miliband is an important political event . . . mounts a coherent challenge to orthodox views, encouraging his audience to think differently and laying the foundations of where the country needs to go . . . Miliband is clear that we live in an age where it is movements of people, not politicians, that change the world * Guardian * Full of ambitious ideas about how to solve gigantic social issues such as working life, childcare and climate change . . . This flawed, funny Miliband sparkles with an Alan Partridge-like flourish through Go Big . . . Miliband never sounds angry. He doesn' t even seem to get annoyed when the Tories steal his ideas * GQ * At a time when our problems seem insurmountable and our disagreements intractable, Ed Miliband gives us reasons to be hopeful. This book makes a compelling case we need to hear: if we are willing to think big, politics can be a force for change and a force for good -- MICHAEL J. SANDEL, author of The Tyranny of Merit There' s a lot of good stuff in here . . . flashes of insight . . . neat observations . . . it is hard to disagree with much of what [he says] . . . charmingly self-deprecating -- David Goodhart * Sunday Times * By turns bouncy, chatty and confidential, and above all relentlessly upbeat . . . fully of ideas, nifty schemes for solving the climate crisis, sound stratagems for encouraging more and better housing, for revitalising public transport, for loosening the stranglehold of the market and a whole lot more besides * Private Eye *
In September 2017, Ed Miliband and his co-host Geoff Lloyd launched the Reasons to be Cheerful podcast to explore the ideas, people and movements solving the biggest challenges facing society, through interviews with smart thinkers and inspiring campaigners from around the world. It has since had over 11 million downloads across a diverse listenership and was awarded Podcast of the Year by the Broadcasting Press Guild in 2018. Ed is the MP for Doncaster North and was Leader of the Labour Party from 2010 to 2015 and Climate Change Secretary from 2008 to 2010. In April 2020, he returned to the front bench to serve as Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
