 | | Gen Z's first "existential toolkit" for combating burnout while advocating for climate justice |
About the Book | | Drawing on a decade of experience leading and teaching in college environmental studies programs, Sarah Jaquette Ray has created an “existential tool kit” for the climate generation. Combining insights from psychology, sociology, social movements, mindfulness, and the environmental humanities, Ray explains why and how we need to let go of eco-guilt, resist burnout, and cultivate resilience while advocating for climate justice. A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety is the essential guidebook for the climate generation—and perhaps the rest of us—as we confront the greatest environmental threat of our time. | | |

This book has some wise strategies for finding a useful balance." | | —Bill McKibben, author of Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? |

Bold and beautiful, this hands-on companion is essential reading for wrestling with the most important issue of our time." | | &mdashKari Marie Norgaard, author of Living in Denial: Climate Change, Emotions, and Everyday Life |
