Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"The book is carefully and clearly written, demonstrating the author’s commitment to climate work and to engaging with students, as well as the depth of her own knowledge as an environmentalist. Highly recommended." * CHOICE *
"Not surprisingly . . . this small book reads like the distillation of simple folk wisdom." * Geography Realm *
"This book makes an overdue and very welcome contribution to the world, where the mental health impacts and cascading losses that climate change generates are increasing rapidly. It synthesises a range of psychological theory, personal experience, Buddhist philosophy and activist self-care wisdom. This is organised into a series of strategies that can help people of any age to play the long game of fighting for climate justice." * Australian Journal of Environmental Education *
