Tori Tsui's 'It's Not Just You' offers a fresh perspective on the intertwining of mental health and the climate crisis. Longlisted for the 2024 Wainwright Prize, this groundbreaking work has garnered praise from climate activists like Greta Thunberg and Mikaela Loach, with Vogue hailing Tsui as a game-changer in the discourse.
Tsui deftly reframes 'eco-anxiety' as a pressing mental health emergency, delving beyond the surface to expose the deep-rooted injustices exacerbating the crisis. Drawing upon insights from global environmental advocates, she illuminates how climate-related mental health struggles are inextricably linked to systemic issues such as racism, sexism, ableism, and capitalism.
With the precision of a detective, Tsui uncovers how marginalised communities bear the brunt of climate injustice, often finding themselves excluded from mental health narratives. She posits that addressing both the climate and mental health crises necessitates a diversification of perspectives and a focus on community-led practices.
This compelling tome serves as a rallying cry, urging readers to look both inward and outward, embracing individuality over individualism and championing climate justice. Tsui's work is a crucial step towards forging better futures for both humanity and our planet, reminding us that in this struggle, it's truly not just you.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
