Why have we been slow to address climate change? It comes down to story–how we understand the world through story, and how when the world is telling us things we don’t want to know we desperately look for stories that will help us through our mental discomfort. That’s the subject of Beyond Climate Breakdown: Envisioning New Stories of Radical Hope, my new book from MIT Press.
Published in October 2022, the book has been listed as one of Orion magazine’s “Ten Books for Fall 2022”; one of Corporate Knights’ magazine’s “Four solution-packed books about climate change you need to read this fall”; and one of The Next Big Idea Club’s October 2022 nominees.
“Beyond Climate Breakdown empowers us to acknowledge and repair the deep causes of the climate crisis that we’re usually taught to ignore.” —Genevieve Guenther, Director, End Climate Silence
