ABOUT THE BOOK

The climate crisis and its resulting eco-anxiety is the biggest challenge of our time. The anxiety that comes with worrying about how environmental harm will impact our--and our children's--lives can be overwhelming. Learn how to balance practicing daily sustainability actions while caring for your own eco-anxiety in this revolutionary book from noted environmentalist Heather White.

In Eco-Anxiety, White shows you how to contribute to the climate movement through self-discovery and self-care. Utilizing the Service Superpower Profile Assessment included in the text, you’ll discover how your personality, interests, and strengths can be of service to others and the planet. This book will serve as your guide to:

• Begin a 21-Day Kickstarter Plan that shares specific sustainable actions you can take
• Track your progress with journal prompts and exercises that'll help you measure mental health benefits
• Listen and talk with loved ones about their climate anxiety
• Commit to being an eco-aware individual and inspire your family, friends, and community to work toward a regenerative, sustainable world

Setting the intention each day to take a small step to care for the planet--can help ease your eco-anxiety, push the culture toward climate solutions, and create a sense of joy.

"In Eco-Anxiety: Saving Our Sanity, Our Kids, and Our Future, Heather White shows you how to get involved in the movement by focusing on your strengths and celebrating a positive vision of what we can create together." –MAYA PENN, activist, author, artist, filmmaker, 3x TED speaker, and entrepreneur
