We are living through fractured and disjointed times, experiencing an age of anxiety, fearfulness and uncertainty.
But Dan Walker, the host of BBC1's Breakfast and Football Focus, is determined to shine a light on the kindliness, compassion and selflessness which continue to characterise so many people and their actions right across the country.
In the course of his professional life, Dan has encountered a stream of remarkable people with intriguing and uplifting stories that should be told. In Remarkable People, he engagingly recounts these wonderful and heart-warming stories. He explores a host of themes such as deprivation, inequality, loneliness and mental health, in the process highlighting and celebrating significant pockets of truly heartening altruism, benevolence and self-sacrifice, typified by a deep concern for others and a million random acts of kindness.
Remarkable People is an incredibly timely book in this challenging age. A much-needed tonic. An amazing antidote to the darkness and negativity of recent times.
