It's Not Just You

Greta Thunberg declares this book a global necessity, whilst Mikaela Loach hails it as an invigorating breath of fresh air. Vogue recognises Tori Tsui's groundbreaking approach to mental health and climate crisis discourse, and Vanessa Nakate deems it essential reading for those seeking to comprehend the intricate relationship between mental wellbeing and environmental upheaval.

The climate emergency isn't merely affecting you; it's impacting everyone's health. However, certain communities bear a disproportionate burden. The term 'eco-anxiety' has gained traction as a means to discuss the climate crisis's detrimental effects on our mental state. In 'It's Not Just You', activist Tori Tsui redefines eco-anxiety as the pressing mental health predicament it undoubtedly is.

Drawing upon the insights of environmental advocates worldwide, Tsui turns to those at the forefront of eco-activism. She demonstrates that the current climate-related mental health struggle extends beyond environmental concerns, encompassing numerous injustices deeply rooted in systems such as racism, sexism, ableism, and most significantly, capitalism.

Consequently, climate injustice disproportionately affects marginalised communities, who are often overlooked in mental health narratives. Tsui posits that addressing both the climate and mental health crises necessitates diversifying perspectives and prioritising community-led practices. In essence, she reminds us that it's not just you.

Tackling this increasingly urgent crisis demands introspection and outward action, embracing individuality over individualism, and championing climate justice. Only then can we begin to construct better futures for both humanity and our planet.
