Climate Change & Mental Health | Daniel Sherrell

We are living in an era of rapid change - for example in our technology, social movements, and the environment. These changes influence our mental health and are themselves influenced by our usual ways of thinking and feeling about the world - our habits of mind. On this episode, we see what we can learn about what makes for a mentally healthy society by exploring one big change we are all going through - climate change. Our guest is Daniel Sherrell, an organizer who passed landmark climate justice legislation in New York and who now works to address climate change in Australia. Dan is the author of Warmth: Coming of Age at the End of our World, which is written as a letter to an imagined future child about how it feels to visualize a future and a family under the weight of climate change.
