💬 Book Summary:
Weather affects us all the time—often in surprising ways—but there are steps we can take to work with the weather and not against it, benefiting our mental health in the process.
For Professor Trevor Harley, understanding the weather and how it impacts our well-being saved his life. Here, he draws on this deeply personal journey, the experience of others, and robust research to show how the weather affects our psychology and behavior and, importantly, what we can do about it.
From the rise in climate anxiety to the sweeping impact of Seasonal Affective Disorder, Professor Harley invites you to discover how adverse weather conditions affect different people. He offers practical advice on how to mitigate the negative effects of weather (or at least learn how to accept them) and make the most of the positive ones.
After all, you can't change the weather—but you can change how you respond to it.
