When we're faced with record-breaking temperatures, worsening wildfires, more severe storms, and other devastating effects of climate change, feelings of anxiety and despair are normal. In Generation Dread, Britt Wray reminds us that our distress is, at its heart, a sign of our connection to and love for the world. The first step toward becoming a steward of the planet is connecting with our climate emotions--seeing them as a sign of our humanity and empathy and learning how to live with them. Britt Wray, a scientist and expert on the psychological impacts of the climate crisis, brilliantly weaves together research, insight from climate-aware therapists, and personal experience, to illuminate how we can connect with others, find purpose, and thrive in a warming, climate-unsettled world.

About the Author
Adam McKay is a film director, producer, screenwriter, comedian, and climate advocate. His productions have been nominated for multiple Academy Awards and include Don't Look Up, Vice, The Big Short, and Succession. In 2019 he founded the production company Hyperobject Industries, referring to the "hyperobject" of climate change, which explains why the crisis is so hard to identify the bounds of and intervene in at the scale required.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
