The book "How to live in a Chaotic Climate" is "a 10-step holistic guide to help you cope with the climate crisis—from the founders of the Good Grief Network.

Eco-distress is real. How to Live in a Chaotic Climate is here to help you rediscover meaning, joy, and connection as the tumult around us increases. Based on the Good Grief Network’s acclaimed 10 Steps to Resilience and Empowerment in a Chaotic Climate program, this book unpacks the social, political, and spiritual nuances of the climate emergency, step by step.

1. Accept the Severity of the Predicament

2. Be with Uncertainty

3. Honour My Mortality and the Mortality of All

4. Do Inner Work

5. Develop Awareness of Biases and Perception

6. Practice Gratitude, Seek Beauty, and Create Connections

7. Take Breaks and Rest

8. Grieve the Harm I Have Caused

9. Show Up

10. Reinvest in Meaningful Efforts

Each step includes practices that draw on meditation, mindfulness, journaling, dance, somatics, and self-inquiry to help readers cope with overwhelming feelings, heal wounds caused by disconnection, and act in generative ways that help cultivate a just and equitable future for all."
