What's On 3 November

Dear Reader,

We dedicated our final print issue of the year to gratitude. It can often be hard to remember to feel grateful, but it’s a powerful sentiment and can help us bat away some of the anxieties that gnaw away at us – especially those we have absolutely no control over. In fact, we’ve gone so far as to launch the Future Icons Power People – a list of 50 names who are helping to make our world a cooler, fairer, more equitable place, because sometimes we need to elevate ‘the good’ over the ‘what sells’ or what makes us angry and upset. We are grateful to these people because they show us that it is within our power to change the narrative about how we interact with our planet – with a light footprint and a gratitude for how it supports us. There is work to be done – these are just 50 people who are doing it brilliantly.

And please support independent publishing – and buy your C&TH subscription here.

Have a great week.

WHAT’S EXCITING ME THIS WEEK

Meet The Man Who Runs Mustique

It’s a job someone’s gotta do, but what is it really like to caretake this fabled speck of an island that is home to A-listers and titans of industry – and where Margot Robbie might just swing by to join a Barbie-themed party? Find out here.

Playing Trump’s Wife

I don’t need to tell you the US is having an election this week. A take on the theme is our interview with Maria Bakalova, who plays a young Ivana Trump in The Apprentice, the controversial film that Donald Trump tried to ban. Fascinating.
