"[A] lively, well-informed and passionate book." --Martin Wolff, Financial Times , Best Economics Books Summer 2024 "In Cheaper, Faster, Better , Tom Steyer''s persuasive storytelling and contagious optimism underscore one of the most important realities of the climate crisis: If we work together, we can solve it. As a relentless climate activist and accomplished investor, Tom''s insights will help galvanize the movement that is needed to address the greatest challenge of our lifetimes." --Al Gore, former US Vice President "An entertaining and informative look into the world of green energy and the clean energy transition." -- Salon "An admirably readable call to arms." -- Financial Times "Optimistic . A readable, encouraging argument that climate activists will want to put to work." -- Kirkus "For those of you who get anxious thinking about climate change, here''s a book that won''t make you want to slit your wrists AND offers a blueprint for living.

Steyer is a pioneering investor, past presidential candidate and a climate activist, who''s putting his knowledge where his convictions are in fighting climate change through policy and investment. This is a breezy book to read that covers a lot of ground, from solutions, personal storytelling and how we can harness the everyday desire of Americans to look for small and big ways to make a difference. As someone who washes out my zip lock bags, this is my kind of book." --Lee Woodruff "Tom Steyer is a masterful storyteller who proves, once again, why he is a leading voice for a cleaner, healthier, and more prosperous world. Writing with clarity and conviction, he blends optimism and pragmatism in his vision of a global community that can meet our climate challenges, infused with the power of innovation." --Laurene Powell Jobs, founder and president of the Emerson Collective "''Refreshing'' and ''hopeful'' are not words usually associated with books about the climate crisis, but Steyer''s book is just that. Frequently using parallels from sports and the business world, he brings clarity and common sense to complex, even controversial, climate issues. This book has given me answers to the questions I get asked most.

" --Jane Fonda "In Cheaper, Faster, Better , Tom Steyer is full of optimism that we can still prevent the worst of climate change and build a better world. He shows how each of us can be part of that solution, whatever our walk of life and wherever we are in the world." --Fred Krupp, President, Environmental Defense Fund "Tom Steyer is a true champion of the planet. He calls on all of us to do our part and explore every possible solution--from breakthrough ideas and technologies to new rules and standards--to create a sustainable net-zero world that benefits all of humanity." --Marc Benioff, Chair and CEO, Salesforce "Finally, an effortless and compelling book that captures the promise and opportunity of the current point in our journey to a net-zero world. Steyer teaches, amuses, and inspires, all while never losing focus on the urgency and moral clarity of this moment." --Lisa Jackson, former EPA Administrator "Winning the climate war is a top priority for those of us who care about the future of our planet and generations to come. Tom Steyer convincingly lays out action steps to transition to a clean energy economy and meet the challenge of climate change.

" --Catherine Coleman Flowers, author of Waste and founder of the Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice " Cheaper, Faster, Better is a page-turner and a game changer. Not only does it give readers a front row seat to Tom Steyer''s journey from Wall Street wonder boy to strategic climate crusader, it elevates the voices of real human beings who are relentlessly fighting in the trenches for climate action and climate justice, in ways that demonstrate the awesome power of hope and optimism. In other words, this book is nothing short of a swift kick in the pants to those who bemoan that the climate battle has already been lost, and a shot in the arm to those who know that despite the deceptive tactics of the oil and gas industry, the clean technologies we need to deliver a healthy and safe future are already within our grasp. All we have to do now is stop bemoaning the present and start working for our collective future." --Gina McCarthy, former White House National Climate Advisor and former EPA Administrator "Tom Steyer has worked as hard on the climate crisis as anyone I know, and this book--a model of clarity--will make clear why he''s been so successful at it: He brings a particular skillset, honed in his earlier years as an investor, that allows him to see the cores of both the crisis and its solutions. It also allows him to make one of the most persuasive attacks on the degeneracy of the fossil fuel industry, and much of adjacent Wall Street, that I''ve ever read. It''s a triumph." --Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature.
