'Improve your happiness and wellbeing while also reducing your carbon footprint? Many would argue that this is too good to be true; Dunn and Zhao expertly show us that it is not' Hannah Ritchie, author of Not the End of the World<br>What if the most effective ways to fight climate change made you happy? What if we could make ourselves, and our planet, happier at the same time?<br><br>Psychologist Elizabeth Dunn and climate behaviour scientist J. Z. Zhao challenge everything we think we know about sustainable living. While most climate advice demands self-denial - eat less, travel less, want less - this groundbreaking book offers a counterintuitive truth: you can make your life better while saving our species at the same time.<br><br>Dunn and Zhao reveal how tweaking everyday decisions around food, travel, housing, and shopping can nudge us toward a tipping point of mass action - without tipping us into burnout. Discover that:<br><br>Joy is a powerful climate strategy: When you like the changes you're making, you're more likely to stick with them - and spread them. <br>You don't have to go vegan or give up flying: Smart substitutions (chicken over beef, carry-on over checked bags) make a real dent in emissions with less personal friction. <br>Small talk matters: Normalizing climate conversations with friends and family helps shift social norms and catalyzes cultural change. <br> Learn to carbon budget: Approach your emissions like your finances: strategically, thoughtfully, and with long-term impact in mind. <br><br>With warmth, clarity and a refreshingly optimistic voice, Dunn and Zhao reframe what it means to 'do your part'. Because sustainability doesn't lie in doing everything, it lies in doing something, joyfully.
