In \u003ci\u003eGeneration Dread, \u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBritt Wray\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and researcher on the emotional and psychological impacts of the climate crisis and is the Director of Stanford Medicine's Special Initiative on Climate Change and Mental Health.
