“Brendan Kelly uses his expertise in Chinese medicine to draw a connection between the environmental excesses that have led us to the age of climate change and the individual excesses that lead to depletion, imbalance, and disease. His fascinating book offers fresh, clear insight into the root causes of both, as well as a map toward greater personal and environmental health and balance.”

—Kristin Kimball, author of The Dirty Life; farmer and co-founder of Essex Farm

“The human body is a mirror of our home planet. The Yin and Yang of Climate Crisis not only teaches that the body and earth are connected, it explains the need for healing both.”

—Scott Frazier, member of the Crow/Santee tribe; founder and director of Project Indigenous

“Brendan Kelly invites us to set aside our typical ways of thinking—reductionistic, fragmented, and dualistic—and to embrace a more holistic and systemic mode of thought. Using the conceptual framework of Chinese medicine, Kelly incisively diagnoses the source of what most ails us, both personally and collectively, and offers guidelines for meaningful change. What could be more important?”

—John Christopher, PhD, Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Mind & Life Institutes

“With a radically expansive understanding of holistic principles, Brendan Kelly shows us that the remedy for our individual bodies and our planet-body is the same. He invites us to look at the deeper causes of our situation and, in so doing, to experience deeper purpose and connection with life. This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the earth.”

—Sarah Von Hoy, PhD, LAc, professor at Goddard College

“The Yin and Yang of Climate Crisis is a brilliantly written, far-sighted exploration of climate change using Chinese medicine as an ancient way to see personal mind-body inflammation as deeply interrelated with the earth’s rising heat. This book empowers people to embrace cooler lifestyles and less inflammatory diets to help rebalance their own lives and in a small, yet organically powerful, way.”
