It's Not Just You

‘The world is in desperate need of this book. We are burned out people on a burned out planet, and we have to talk about mental health and its connections with the planetary emergency.’ – Greta Thunberg
‘The mental health and climate crisis is an issue of our times, and Tori Tsui writes about eco-anxiety and climate justice in a way that is wonderful, hopeful and urgent. This book is an essential read for the decade to come.’ – Dominique Palmer
‘Tori’s book shows us what I see every day in clinical practise - that mental health is political, ecological and collective. The narrow ways we’ve been told to understand mental health are designed to prevent liberation and healing - Tori’s book offers an invigorating alternative.’ – Rhiannon Osborne
‘Tori has written a must-read for anyone who would love to understand the intersections of mental health and the climate crisis.’ – Vanessa Nakate
‘Tsui’s book upends the idea that climate anxiety exists in a vacuum, instead considering it as a symptom of something deeper. * Vogue *
‘What an important and necessary look at how our global crisis can feel overwhelmingly personal. When it comes to the climate crisis, nothing and no one is spared, from the smallest creatures to the most powerful human leaders of the world. This book reminds us that we are all connected, and that there is hope when we acknowledge our anxiety and use it to fuel positive action.’ – Maggie Baird
‘Tori Tsui advocates for a cosmic shift in the ways that eco-anxiety is being presented in our dominant culture. From her stories, research, and activism, her book upholds evidence-based hope for a better future.’ – Isaias Hernandez, QueerBrownVegan
‘It’s Not Just You is a pivotal examination of our greatest challenge at hand. It is immensely hopeful and adeptly illuminates the path to a better world for all of us.’ – Daphne Frias, Disabled Climate Justice Organizer
‘Tori Tsui’s voice is vital. It’s Not Just You is a necessary, nuanced and timely exploration of eco-anxiety that consistently reminds us what this fight is truly about: collective liberation and collective care. Given the individualistic and eurocentric nature of much of both the mental health and climate discourse, respectively, It’s Not Just You is a galvanising breath of fresh air.’ – Mikaela Loach

Tori Tsui is an intersectional climate activist and mental health advocate from Hong Kong, now based in the UK. She was recognized as one of Stella McCartney’s agents of change for her Fall/Winter 2019 campaign, which featured writing by Jonathan Safran Foer and narration by Dame Jane Goodall. Stella McCartney subsequently sponsored Tori to sail across the Atlantic Ocean to the UN climate conference, COP25. Following this, she lived in Colombia, collaborating with youth from Latin America and the Caribbean on the Sail For Climate Action project, which aimed to amplify the voices of environmentalists from the Global South.

Tori has spoken at the International Hay Festival, Stella McCartney’s roundtable at Paris Fashion Week, and COP26 in Glasgow. In November 2021, she was invited by Emma Watson to speak at The New York Times Climate Hub, alongside youth climate leaders such as Greta Thunberg and Malala Yousafzai, to discuss the necessity of collective, coalition-led leadership for intersectional climate action. She also leads the collective Bad Activist, which seeks to challenge the expectation of perfection in climate activism. It’s Not Just You is Tori’s first book.
