"Tori Tsui is changing the conversation around mental health and the climate crisis."-Vogue

For anyone who's ever felt overwhelmed by the climate crisis--you're not alone. In a book that was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize on Writing and Global Conservatism, activist and mental health advocate Tori Tsui takes readers on a powerful journey through the emotional terrain of climate grief, anxiety, and burnout. Combining memoir, intersectional analysis, and activist storytelling, Tsui, named a Stella McCartney Agent of Change, redefines eco-anxiety as not just a personal response to planetary crisis, but a political and communal condition rooted in systems of oppression--racism, colonialism, capitalism, and ableism.

With clarity and heart, Tsui traces her lived experience as a queer woman of color navigating mental illness and activism on a global scale: from sailing across the Atlantic for a climate summit to finding healing with Indigenous communities in Colombia. Alongside personal reflections, she amplifies the voices of marginalized organizers, critiques the commodification of wellness, and insists that true climate action must also be mental health care. By refusing simplistic fixes, It's Not Just You insists on justice, solidarity, and radical care as the antidotes to our present-day despair.

Featuring contributions from Mikaela Loach, author of Climate Is Just the Start ; Vanessa Nakate, author of A Bigger Picture ; and Talia Woodin, climate photographer for Atmos , Middle East Eye , i-D , and The Guardian , among others, It's Not Just You is a must-read for anyone reckoning with the emotional weight of the climate crisis. Whether you're just learning the term "eco-anxiety" or you've been carrying it for years, Tsui offers validation, perspective, and most of all: community. Along with a foreword by Leah Thomas, named to the Ebony Power 100, Tsui reminds readers that they are most resilient when they lean on--and learn from--each other.
