Description
It's hard to watch the news, scroll through social media, or listen to the radio without hearing or seeing something disturbing about the climate emergency. This can trigger all sorts of emotions: worry, anger, sadness, guilt, and even grief but also often over-looked positive emotions like motivation, connection, care, and abundance that support mental health and climate action for sustainable longevity.
Written by psychologists with extensive experience in treating people with eco-anxiety, this book shows you how to harness these emotions, validate them, and transform them into positive action. It enables you to assess and understand your psychological responses to the climate crisis and move away from unhealthy defence mechanisms, such as denial and avoidance.
Ultimately, it shows that the solution to both climate anxiety and the climate crisis is the same - action that is sustainable for you and for the planet - and empowers you to take steps towards this.

This book offered some really great, concrete practices to help manage climate anxiety. Every chapter offered exercises to help you manage emotions while still staying in the climate fight. In general, I also really enjoyed the way this book talked about and reframed emotions not as negative but as valuable. Honestly, I really needed to hear the section about how doomscrolling is useless and I know a lot of my friends need to hear it too. I didn't give this one five stars because there were a few jargon terms that weren't explained and, even with the sections from clients and activists, the book just did not feel personal. In my opinion, it needed a little more of a human element rather than just psychology. Overall, though, the book was very informative.
