“Since changing the climate is the biggest thing humans have ever done, with the gravest implications for the future, it stands to reason that it produces all kinds of emotions—conscious and unconscious—in those who apprehend it. This fine book helps grapple with those feelings, in thoughtful and empowering ways.”
Bill McKibben
Author of Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization
“This book is rich with practical wisdom for all climate feelers, thinkers, and doers. Leslie Davenport believes in us. Transforming Climate Anxiety will leave you saying, ‘I do too.'”
