About Me

I'm a writer at heart, but an advocate by trade. I have written for peer-reviewed journals, magazines, newspapers, and more recently platforms like Truth-Out.org and Emerge (whatisemerging.com) on climate-related ecology, science, law and policy my whole adult life.

​

I blog at https://ecopsychologynow.blog, where you can find many of the ideas in this book in their more formative stages, as well as at The Dharma Beat on Substack. I've been featured in stories on Extinction Rebellion in the Financial Times of London and on Climate Grief in the Sunday Perspective Section of the N.Y. Times. I've also been in the top 99.5 percentile of researchers in the world (by view) on climate psychology since 2019 on Academia.edu's clearinghouse for academic papers, which are freely available by visiting my website https://thubtenzhiwa.academia.edu/

​

Now that I've synthesized all my research and thinking in this book, and made it freely available, I've moved to Kathmandu to be closer to my spiritual teacher and to live like a monk - which I've always aspired to do more fully.
