I talk a lot about the need for a spiritual revolution in response to the crises of our time. Suzanne Crawford O'Brien takes us to one of the clearest places that revolution is needed: our relationship with the Earth. Climate Anxiety and Spiritual Resilience reminds us that healing the planet will require not only science and policy-but a transformation of the human spirit.

This is a generous and open-hearted book, and it will be a great resource for people trying to figure out how we make our collective way through an overheated century.

Climate Anxiety and Spiritual Resilience is a wise, grounded companion for anyone feeling the emotional weight of a warming world. Suzanne Crawford O'Brien weaves together spirituality, justice, and kinship with deep compassion. The book steadies the heart while inviting us into right relationship with one another and the living Earth.

When conversations in the classroom or with friends turn to climate change or the broken political systems wreaking havoc on the Earth's ecosystems, it is easy to devolve toward despair. In Climate Anxiety and Spiritual Resilience, Crawford-O'Brien provides a thoughtful reframing of climate change as a spiritual problem, and furnishes readers with a rich array of ideas and practices that can help them respond with meaning and moral resolve. Drawing on a wide range of scholarly voices, religious traditions, and indigenous spiritualities, her honest, heartfelt prose guides readers toward an affirmative power to make the futures they want for themselves.

This book brings soul and ceremony to the heart of climate distress. O'Brien offers a rare weaving of the sacred and the practical and reminds us that spiritual resilience is not a retreat from the world's suffering, but a profound act of re-engagement with life, justice, and community.

This book has so much to teach and to remind us all. The introduction tells us it is “a trail guide for those of us who know that restoring the world is sacred work.” If you don't know that yet, please read the book and be convinced. Then join me in gratitude for the wisdom Suzanne Crawford O'Brien has gathered in these pages. She presents a wealth of spiritual resources to expand our understanding of climate action. She encourages us to be our full selves, including facing our grief, anxiety, and other challenging feelings about the state of the world. She introduces us to dozens of ancestors and scholars who have found ways to turn such feelings into positive change. She offers hope that we can keep moving toward a better life in and with this earth. The trail ahead is not easy, but it will be easier, more joyful, and more inspiring with this book as a guide.
