Story
In Generation Dread, Britt Wray seamlessly merges scientific knowledge with emotional insight to show how these intense feelings are a healthy response to the troubled state of the world. The first crucial step toward becoming an engaged steward of the planet is connecting with our climate emotions, seeing them as a sign of humanity, and learning how to live with them. We have to face and value eco-anxiety, Wray argues, before we can conquer the deeply ingrained, widespread reactions of denial and disavowal that have led humanity to this alarming period of ecological decline.

In 2001, when Jacqueline Novogratz founded Acumen, a global community of socially and environmentally responsible partners dedicated to changing the way the world tackles poverty, few had heard of impact investing - Acumen’s practice of “doing well by doing good”. Nineteen years later, there’s been a seismic shift in how corporate boards and other stakeholders evaluate businesses: Impact investment is not only morally defensible, but now also economically advantageous, even necessary.

"Climate change is a hoax - and so is coronavirus." "Vaccines are bad for you." These days, many of our fellow citizens reject scientific expertise and prefer ideology to facts. They are not merely uninformed - they are misinformed. They cite cherry-picked evidence, rely on fake experts, and believe conspiracy theories. How can we get them to change their minds and accept the facts when they don't believe in facts? In this book, Lee McIntyre shows that anyone can fight back against science deniers, and argues that it's important to do so. Science denial can kill.

Biblical womanhood - the belief that God designed women to be submissive wives, virtuous mothers, and joyful homemakers - pervades North American Christianity. From choices about careers to roles in local churches to relationship dynamics, this belief shapes the everyday lives of evangelical women. Yet biblical womanhood isn't biblical, says Baylor University historian Beth Allison Barr. It was born in a series of clearly definable historical moments.

Publisher's Summary
National Best Seller
“An optimistic view on why collective action is still possible - and how it can be realized.” (The New York Times)
“As far as heroic characters go, I’m not sure you could do better than Katharine Hayhoe.” (Scientific American)
"It’s not an exaggeration to say that Saving Us is one of the more important books about climate change to have been written." (The Guardian)
United Nations Champion of the Earth, climate scientist, and evangelical Christian Katharine Hayhoe changes the debate on how we can save our future.
Called “one of the nation's most effective communicators on climate change” by The New York Times, Katharine Hayhoe knows how to navigate all sides of the conversation on our changing planet. A Canadian climate scientist living in Texas, she negotiates distrust of data, indifference to imminent threats, and resistance to proposed solutions with ease. Over the past 15 years, Hayhoe has found that the most important thing we can do to address climate change is talk about it - and she wants to teach you how.
In Saving Us, Hayhoe argues that when it comes to changing hearts and minds, facts are only one part of the equation. We need to find shared values in order to connect our unique identities to collective action. This is not another doomsday narrative about a planet on fire. It is a multilayered look at science, faith, and human psychology, from an icon in her field - recently named chief scientist at the Nature Conservancy.
Drawing on interdisciplinary research and personal stories, Hayhoe shows that small conversations can have astonishing results. Saving Us leaves us with the tools to open a dialogue with your loved ones about how we all can play a role in pushing forward for change.

important book to read/listen
I appreciated Katharine Hayhoe's non judgmental approach to how to talk about climate change and bring us all together. This book isn't loaded with complicated concepts, it's accessible and meaningful to all, including and maybe especially those who know a lot and those who want, or even don't want to learn. Hear it and start, or continue, the climate conversations, wherever you are because climate matters to all of us. Well narrated by the author, great to hear the passion and compassion in her voice.

Optimistic while realistic
Katharine Hayhoe has cred as a climate scientist, and as an Evangelical Christian she has the ability to communicate with a community containing too many climate contrarians. This book does an excellent job of explaining that we don't need to go to the opposite extremes of either despair or denial, but there are practical Creation Care options for us, at both the personal and societal/political levels. The audiobook is read by the author with her engaging style.

Saving ME!
Katharine’s book is the best thing I’ve found to keep me headed forward to contribute what I can to resolving the horrendous problems we’ve created. I found so many good references, ideas, and special thoughts I can use to talk with others about. It was also a bonus that Dr. Hayhoe narrated the book herself. After listening to the entire book, and some chapters more than once, I feel like Katharine and I are on the same page, a friend I can reach out to and a confidante, if I get depressed again about the state of this world. Enjoy this excellent book!

If you read one book on climate change read this!
Great overview of the science, including the (sadly) very useful debunking of climate change sceptics' theories. But, more importantly, this includes many real life examples of how the individual can get involved, raise awareness, and, most importantly, talk about it! Wonderful book and, I love that the author reads it herself!

Loved it. It has inspired hope in me.
I loved the book “Saving Us” and am recommending it to everyone. It gave me hope and a way to talk to people about climate change and what we can do. It also helped me learn a lot about ocean warming and its effects. I will be taking positive personal action as a result of reading this book. I am thankful to the author for her generous contributions to the field.
I was surprised that the author appeared to endorse some biofuels in the book (in addition to cleaner sources like solar). This sparked my curiosity. I look forward to hearing her additional thoughts as she continues to research the subject.
I am thankful to the author for inspiring and hopeful book.

You have read this book before
This is a climate-change-specific version of how to win friends or seven habits, in the sense that the book presents the same advise, using climate-change-related examples.
The author makes sound arguments for hope, but it's largely understood as faith-based hope. She even quotes scripture and gospels several times.
It's an interesting read, but it's not the read I was expecting. I'm sure many people will find it useful as a guide to help their communities act.
