Dirk Steffens - Hoffnungslos Optimistisch
After 30 years and expeditions to more than 120 countries, Germany’s best-known science journalist is convinced: the end of the world isn’t happening. Humanity has more solutions than problems. He explains, live on tour, why it’s smart to be optimistic and how pooping whales are saving our climate.
An exciting, inspiring, and entertaining journey around the world. Full of surprising insights, stunning images, and astonishing connections. Facts that help us keep our spirits up even in difficult times. Dirk Steffens is a TV writer, host, and documentary filmmaker. He has been telling people about the wonders of our planet for three decades now.
Television programs from the ZDF series “Terra X” made him famous. Since April 2022, Steffens has been an expert for “GEO,” and since January 2023, he has been working for the RTL Media Group both in front of and behind the camera. With the podcast “Kettenreaktion” and his bestselling books, he reaches an audience of millions.
In November 2025, his new book of the same name, “Hopelessly Optimistic,” was published—a rather scientific look into the future.
