This year I have been on a bit of a journey around my place in the environment, what I do about it and how I engage with the things I can control. So it is logical that this book has a place in this journey for me.
This book really worked for me. It was presented in a way I could relate to and understand it, and on finishing it I feel even more empowered to have more discussions about this topic which I care quite a lot about but don't talk about enough.
One thing that really hit me was the whole concept that if we don't talk about it to avoid conflict, politicisation or general discomfort we are only doing ourselves a disservice. We just need to talk about it no matter where we stand on the political spectrum (cause frankly the science doesn't have multiple sides, just facts).
Recommended reading. Thanks Rebecca Huntley!

“Climate change is affecting every one of the earth’s systems. Even the earth’s crust is being transformed.”
Reading books about climate is like reading a horror novel - frightening and very disturbing.
I was very fascinated by this read, I actually believe that I’m one of those people who has “eco-anxiety”.
I’ve been making changes over the last 7-8 months and will continue to do so. I hope I can get others to change as well.
I’m always keen to do research and learn a lot of things however, after reading about what these scientists are going through because they know the truth, I’m a little apprehensive.
Insightful read, and one that everyone should dedicate their time to.
At the end of the book you are given a list of resources and reading recommendations.
Thank you Murdoch Books for sending me a physical copy since I was late in archiving it from NetGalley! I’m really glad I got the chance to read this.

Emotional book for me to read but well needed. I struggle with how to approach tough conversations regarding climate change and this book provided valuable insight for me.

I'm reading this book while being stuck in the space of not knowing what to do next about this whole thing. I've been active up until a few months ago in activism groups and projects. Now I am taking some time to figure it out and this book is an absolute gem in helping me refocus and see the psychologies behind talking about climate change which often feels so so difficult. Even now I haven't had it figured out but this book is a great and informative first step to doing so. I just have one small criticism which is that a lot of it still feels very focused on western countries but understandably, it seems like most research are around those countries. The author did put in a couple of examples from other countries in Asia and Africa but I feel like it would be super helpful to know more about how the various feelings manifest differently in different countries. This in itself though, is a great book with a great idea and is doing wonders for inspiring me to keep up with my activities around the space.
