Feasible Living - Dealing with Ecological Anxiety While Adapting to Our Changing World

Book excerpt: No matter which way we turn today, trends like pollution, climate change, and the 4th Industrial Revolution are impacting the ecosystems that you and I live in. These trends are influencing all of us and if you are not concerned about the impact they will have on the current and future wellbeing of you and your loved ones, you should be. This concern is called ecological anxiety, and it is up to you to decide how it should be managed and what actions you will take to adapt and prepare. As you can imagine, the topic of ecological anxiety is vast. This book is an introduction that outlines the major trends to be concerned about, as well as offering up practical ways for you to protect your financial, physical, and mental wellbeing. Ecological anxiety is not just limited to adults either. Our youth can also experience it, perhaps to an even greater extent than adults. This book contains discussions focused on this, why it can be different from adult ecological anxiety, and ways we can mentor them through this scary period of their lives. The seemingly perfect storm of globe-altering trends is already impacting us. Now is the time to take control (and it’s easier than you might think).
