As with any type of stress, eco-anxiety can lead to burnout, avoidance, or a disturbance of daily functioning.In Generation Dread, Britt Wray seamlessly merges scientific knowledge with emotional insight to show how these intense feelings are a healthy response to the troubled state of the world. The first crucial step toward becoming an engaged steward of the planet is connecting with our climate emotions, seeing them as a sign of humanity, and learning how to live with them. We have to face and value eco-anxiety, Wray argues, before we can conquer the deeply ingrained, widespread reactions of denial and disavowal that have led humanity to this alarming period of ecological decline.Weaving in insights from climate-aware therapists, critical perspectives on race and privilege in this crisis, ideas about the future of mental health innovation, and creative coping strategies, Generation Dread brilliantly illuminates how we can learn from the past, from our own emotions, and from each other to survive-and even thrive-in a changing world.

Review "A rare look at the internal work required to meaningfully confront the existential threats climate change poses to our institutions, our futures, and our selves. If you are ready to feel through eco-anxiety, grieve whats lost, and imagine what comes next, read this courageous book." —Naomi Klein, author of On Fire and This Changes Everything"Dr. Britt Wray doesnt ever look away from the hard emotional truths of the climate crisis. But its also exactly from this scary place that she is able to help us manifest something we all desperately need nowadays: strength. Generation Dread is a vital and deeply compelling read." —Adam McKay, award-winning writer, director and producer (Vice, Succession, Dont Look Up)"In this intriguing and engaging work, Britt Wray explores the internal ecology of climate anxiety with insight and sensitivity. She shows finally that meaningful living is possible even in the face of that which threatens to extinguish life itself, and that addressing global climate change begins with attending to the climate within." —Dr. Gabor Maté, author of When the Body Says No"The climate future can look bleak, and alarming, but those arent the only ways to relate to it—or the only ways we will live through and experience it. Generation Dread is a marvelous exploration of many of the divergent, sometimes contradictory, sometimes paradoxical, but always human ways in which we navigate the effects of climate change, with ideas for how we might do so more productively and healthily in the future." —David Wallace-Wells, author of The Uninhabitable Earth"What a gift. Generation Dread meets the unsettled soul with kinship and insight. In these brimming pages, Britt Wray guides us through the interior and interpersonal landscape of the climate crisis, helping us find a grounded, collective path forward in our tangled time." —Dr. Katharine K. Wilkinson, climate strategist and co-editor of All We Can Save"If like me you walk around in grief and fear about the unravelling of Earths ecosystems, if avoidance and silence often feel like the only way to cope, then you will meet yourself in the pages of Generation Dread. With utmost empathy and wisdom, Britt Wray explores how we can stay engaged with hard truths and act responsibly in their light. This book was just what I needed and I read it twice." —Joan Thomas, Governor Generals Award-winning author of Five Wives"An extraordinary exploration of the emotional and psychological toll environmental chaos is already exacting. Its also a road map out from under that burden, made all the more compelling by the way it tracks [Wrays] own journey. . . . If Generation Dread has one overriding theme, its that community saves, and that trust and mutual care are its foundations." —Macleans"In her new book Generation Dread . . . Wray . . . [charts] a path forward for those who feel uneasy or even stuck when it comes to eco-anxiety. Wrays approach is holistic, weaving together various strands of thought from psychology and public health to help readers cultivate the resilience and emotional intelligence theyll need to fight for the planet—and to survive the calamities that might come." —Mashable"Grateful to Britt Wray for devoting her work to shining a bright light on climate dread. . . . I have said before and Ill say it again; I believe climate anxiety and climate grief is the unseen shadow at the heart of all of our crises of society and mental health, and until thats faced, we cant understand fully what is happening in us and around us. In this context, Britt Wrays book is indispensable." –Tamara Lindeman, Brooklyn Vegan Details ISBN1039008976 Author Britt Wray Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781039008977 Format Paperback Subtitle Finding Purpose in an Age of Eco-Anxiety Country of Publication Canada Audience General Publication Date 2023-08-22 ISBN-10 1039008976 UK Release Date 2023-10-03 Pages 304 Publisher Random House Canada Imprint Knopf Canada Place of Publication Ontario We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
