Waking Up In The Polycrisis

Waking Up in the Polycrisis is a field guide for young
people coming of age in a world unraveling at multiple levels—ecological, emotional, political, and cultural. It doesn’t offer easy answers, and it’s not interested in fixing you. Instead, it offers a companionable voice, a clear lens, and a quiet permission to feel what you’re already feeling: overwhelmed, alert, angry, confused, and
still somehow hopeful.
What emerges is not a path forward, but a space to be human—complex, imperfect, and still capable of care—in a time when everything seems to demand
performance or despair.
This book is designed for classroom use, youth circles, counselors, organizers, or solitary readers who find themselves awake at 3am wondering how to stay real in a collapsing world. It doesn’t pretend to be the answer. But it makes space for better questions. And it trusts the
reader to bring the rest.
You're not wrong to feel too much. You're not broken for breaking. You’re awake. And that’s dangerous—in the best way.
