Description
The climate crisis is undeniably real, yet humanity remains paralyzed in addressing it. What explains this collective inaction and denialism in the face of a clear existential threat? In the groundbreaking new book The Shrinking Planet, the mysteries behind our poor climate response are unraveled.
Combining cutting-edge research from psychology and social science with gripping real-world examples, this book expertly delineates the cognitive biases, emotional limitations, and social pressures that have left society unable to adequately confront climate change. Delving into phenomena like motivated reasoning, tribal mentality, the bystander effect, and our culture of materialism, the book exposes the troubling ways human minds are wired to ignore looming environmental catastrophe.
But The Shrinking Planet does not leave listeners feeling despair over these bleak realities. Instead, it offers hope by using insights gleaned into the psychology behind climate apathy to chart a way forward. The book explores constructive solutions informed by science - reframing narratives, promoting climate education, cognitive behavioral adjustments and more.
Hard-hitting yet ultimately optimistic, The Shrinking Planet is the wake-up call society needs to finally break through the psychological roadblocks holding back action to save our climate. Its fusion of vital scholarship with understandable storytelling aims to reach citizens of all political stripes, spurring the collective psychological rewiring necessary to build an environmentally sustainable future. There is still time to act, but only if we first understand what holds us back. The Shrinking Planet provides that understanding and a path to real climate progress.
