Kate Schapira opened the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth in Providence, RI. Inspired by Lucy of Peanuts comics fame, her sign read “Climate Anxiety Counseling 5 cents: The Doctor Is In.” This led to many conversations with people about climate change and related fears and anxieties as well as anxiety generated by other issues.

The book is Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth: How to Live with Care and Purpose in an Endangered World by Kate Schapira. It is a book offering practical tips and exercises in dealing with these anxieties as well as making a difference. Given that climate change is real and the effects are becoming more severe in recent years, I suspect this book may help a good number of people. I thank NetGalley for allowing me read this before publication. The book is scheduled to go on sale April 9.
