Hello,

I’ve been trying to keep my anxiety and negativity in check and have been looking for short novels that lean toward positive feelings. Something like “Star Trek The Next Generation”: inspiring, encouraging; even though there are difficulties we learn, adapt and make mistakes. But at the end we’ll make it and we’ll get out of it better than we got into it. 😅

Possibly sci-fi or scientific, or adventure (eg the Hornblower saga)

(Sorry couldn’t find a better way to describe it 😅)

Thank you for any suggestion!

Also, Startide Rising by David Brin is "Uplifting". It's about the first interstellar starship captained by a dolphin, with a dolphin and human crew.

They make a momentous discovery which puts them on the run from formidable alien fleets with the fate of all Earthlings hanging in the balance.
