Samenvatting:

A book of hope in a time of fear, weaving together research, practical advice, and narrative to soothe eco-anxiety

Climate-related anxieties are on the rise everywhere, and like any stress, ecoanxiety can lead to issues such as burnout and insomnia. When researcher Britt Wray found herself thinking about having a baby, she experienced crushing worry about how her future child would navigate the planetary crisis.

In Generation Dread, Wray merges scientific knowledge with emotional wisdom, showing us how to maintain a balance between fear and hope while sitting with uncertainty. A crucial first step is grieving what’s happening and mourning ecological losses, which can help us find clarity of purpose. Combining creative coping strategies with insights from therapists, research, and personal experience, this book illuminates how we can learn from history, our own emotions, and each other, to survive—and even thrive—in a changing world.
