Generation Dread: Finding Purpose in an Age of Climate Crisis

This book offers a generational perspective on coping with climate disruption. Climate-related fears and anxieties are rising globally, leading to burnout, avoidance, and daily functioning disturbances.

Author Britt Wray combines scientific knowledge with emotional insight to show that intense climate emotions are a healthy response to the world’s troubles.

The book talks about facing and valuing eco-anxiety as essential to conquering denial and disavowal reactions that have led to ecological decline. Drawing from climate aware therapists, critical perspectives on race and privilege, mental health innovation ideas, and creative coping strategies, this book shares how we can learn from the past, our emotions, and each other to survive and do better in a changing world.
