<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A compassionate take on the psychological factors fueling climate-change denialism and what we can do to turn indifference into action.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Facing Climate Change</i> explains why people refuse to accept evidence of a warming planet and shows how to move past partisanship to reach a consensus for action. A climate scientist and licensed Jungian analyst, Jeffrey T. Kiehl examines the psychological phenomena that twist our relationship to the natural world and their role in shaping the cultural beliefs that distance us further from nature. He also accounts for the emotions triggered by the lived experience of climate change and the feelings of fear and loss they inspire, which lead us to deny the reality of our warming planet. <p/>But it is not too late. By evaluating our way of being, Kiehl unleashes a potential human emotional understanding that can reform our behavior and help protect the Earth. Kiehl dives deep into the human brain's psychological structures and human spirituality's imaginative power, mining promising resources for creating a healthier connection to the environment--and one another. <i>Facing Climate Change</i> is as concerned with repairing our social and political fractures as it is with reestablishing our ties to the world, teaching us to push past partisanship and unite around the shared attributes that are key to our survival. Kiehl encourages policy makers and activists to appeal to our interdependence as a global society, extracting politics from the process and making decisions about our climate future that are substantial and sustaining.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The book does an incredible job of not only explaining the deep rooted psychology behind climate change denial, but also guides individuals and decision makers to repair the damage that has already been done.--Melis Okter "Shore and Beach "<br><br>A fresh perspective on the climate crisis....
