Climate change anxiety is one of the biggest mental health threats of our times.

If you find it hard to tear yourself away from doomscrolling, or it feels impossible not to worry about the world we are leaving to future generations, then you are not alone. Surviving Climate Anxiety is the essential guide to coping with the psychological toll of the environmental crisis.

In this helpful and ground-breaking book, the world's leading climate anxiety expert, psychologist Dr Thomas Doherty, shares the pioneering techniques he has developed to help you to:

  • Reclaim your nervous system: manage your thoughts, feelings, and stress about climate change
  • Clarify your environmental identity: understand your history, values, and connection to the natural world
  • Overcome fear of climate disasters and tend to eco-depression and grief
  • Find realistic reasons for hope and ways to take meaningful action

Packed with practical, research-backed tips and dozens of stories - from the geologist haunted by images of melting glaciers, to the young couple agonizing over whether to bring a child into a world on fire, to a twenty-something wondering how to believe in the future - Surviving Climate Anxiety provides the tools to cope, heal, and flourish, even in these challenging times.
