About this listen

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.

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 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.

From Anxiety to Optimism

From page one, I found The Climate Optimist to be a transformative read that effectively addresses the overwhelming feelings many of us experience regarding climate change. Anne Therese Gennari skillfully and passionately guides us from the mindset of an angry climate activist to that of a passionate, long-term climate optimist. I enjoyed the way she blended personal anecdotes with cutting-edge research in positive psychology, environmental science, and neuroscience to offer a scientifically grounded approach to optimism.

What sets her book apart is its focus on cultivating courage to shift our perspectives, enhancing our wellbeing, and empowering us to make a positive impact on climate efforts. She provides practical tools and insights to help us change the narrative from one of anxiety to one of optimism, ultimately fueling the leadership and change necessary to make a significant difference—and finding space to enjoy life along the way!

Her charming (and sometimes petulant) personal stories add a layer of vulnerability alongside research from leaders in relevant fields, making The Climate Optimist both engaging and informative. It's designed to equip us with the tools needed to be the change, transforming our outlook and actions towards a more hopeful and effective climate activism.

This five-star read/listen inspires confidence to make 'shift' happen. Please read and join the movement!
