The Climate Optimist Handbook: How to Shift the Narrative on Climate Change and Find the Courage to Choose Change - Paperback

by Anne Therese Gennari (Author)

How do you find the courage to choose positive change in uncertain times? How do you spread optimism to people concerned about the future but who feel too overwhelmed to know how to act?

Anne Therese Gennari has been seeking the answers to those questions most of her life, and in The Climate Optimist Handbook, she offers encouragement, wisdom, and practical tools to help us let go of fear and the dismal truth of today to build toward a world that can be better and more beautiful than anything we've yet seen.

That future starts with shifting the narrative on climate change so we can act from courage and excitement, not fear. We must let go of the guilt and responsibility we feel to save the planet and move into a place of opportunity, optimism, and hope. We should act not because it's our duty, but because we recognize the beautiful and exciting opportunity we have to participate in the shift toward an even better world.

The Climate Change Optimist Handbook will guide you through that shift to become your own source of optimism. You will learn the psychological reasons we aren't acting more on climate change and gain tools and mindset tips to model positive change in your community and home. A grounded and resilient leader is waiting to be born inside you-one who doesn't just believe a better world is possible, but who is eager and excited to do everything possible to make that world a reality.
