Psychological Roots of the Climate Crisis tells the story of a
fundamental fight between a caring and an uncaring imagination. It
helps us to recognise the uncaring imagination in politics, in
culture - for example in the writings of Ayn Rand - and also in
ourselves. Sally Weintrobe argues that achieving the shift to
greater care requires us to stop colluding with Exceptionalism, the
rigid psychological mindset largely responsible for the climate
crisis. People in this mindset believe that they are entitled to
have the lion’s share and that they can ‘rearrange’ reality
with magical omnipotent thinking whenever reality limits these felt
entitlements. While this book's subject is grim, its tone is
reflective, ironic, light and at times humorous. It is free of
jargon, and full of examples from history, culture, literature,
poetry, everyday life and the author’s experience as a
psychoanalyst, and a professional life that has been dedicated to
helping people to face difficult truths.
