"Ignoring climate change is no longer an option. Climate change is real--and so is the fear and anxiety building in its wake. If climate anxiety is keeping you up at night, if you've been directly impacted by climate-driven disasters, or if you're constantly worrying about the future, you aren't alone. As devastation wrought by extreme weather becomes the new normal, it's getting harder and harder to ignor a crisis that is not just looming, but already upon us. So, how can you overcome feeling so powerless that you lose hope, give up, or stop taking action? This practical yet unflinching guide offers real tools based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you cope with climate change right now. You'll gain the resilience and clarity needed to move past feelings of hopelessness, and learn self-care strategies to reduce the fear, anger, and despair triggered by the next inevitable headline. Ignoring climate change is not an option. This book will help you tap into the wisdom needed to weather the coming storms, and take meaningful action for a better future" --
