As climate change and development pressures overwhelm the environment, our emotional relationships with Earth are also in crisis. Pessimism and distress are overwhelming people the world over. In this maelstrom of emotion, solastalgia, the homesickness you have when you are still at home, has become, writes Glenn A. Albrecht, one of the defining emotions of the twenty-first century.

Earth Emotions examines our positive and negative Earth emotions. It explains the author's concept of solastalgia and other well-known eco-emotions such as biophilia and topophilia. Albrecht introduces us to the many new words needed to describe the full range of our emotional responses to the emergent state of the world. We need this creation of a hopeful vocabulary of positive emotions, argues Albrecht, so that we can extract ourselves out of environmental desolation and reignite our millennia-old biophilia―love of life―for our home planet. To do so, he proposes a dramatic change from the current human-dominated Anthropocene era to one that will be founded, materially, ethically, politically, and spiritually on the revolution in thinking being delivered by contemporary symbiotic science. Albrecht names this period the Symbiocene.

With the current and coming generations, "Generation Symbiocene," Albrecht sees reason for optimism. The battle between the forces of destruction and the forces of creation will be won by Generation Symbiocene, and Earth Emotions presents an ethical and emotional odyssey for that victory.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Albrecht offers a framework within which to understand and acknowledge the dissociation of humans from the living world. With a new language and means of expression, a wider array of stories from diverse voices can hopefully be heard.

The Independent

In Earth Emotions, Albrecht seeks to provide a new lexicon of emotional terms. The purpose of these terms is twofold: first, to allow people make better sense of themselves and of their relationship with the planet; second, to encourage development of a more meaningful and optimistic outlook toward the planet.

Review

Earth Emotions is thorough, composed, and historically illuminative. Grounded and powerful in its message, this book helps explain in an accessible way the history of Earth emotion neologisms and the relationships of land and psyche.

-- Nick Stanger, Washington University

  • Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2022
    Australian polymath Glenn Albrecht has produced a stunning book where his earthly experience is beautifully interwoven with his terra-philosophy. The description of the vast range of earth emotions is the best I have seen. The explanations are very clear and I love his independent viewpoint - the mantle of James Lovelock would sit well on his shoulders (if both would agree). Here are messages and creeds for the near-, mid- and far-futures. Those born today might well have this book as an earth bible as they reach 2100 and rejoice in mere survival through the greatest set of challenges to the human race since the ice ages. I am so enjoying rereading many chapters. Highly recommended, do not miss the final chapter.

    ...the earth nor emotions work that way.
  • Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2023
    A grab-bag of new age nonsense, including a long exposition on the film "Avatar", which has been roundly criticized by indigenous groups world wide as cultural appropriation, along with some very questionable use of cherry-picked aspects of Hegelian philosophy that leaves out some of the inconvenient parts of Hegel's dialectic, e.g. ‘labor of the negative’, which doesn't fit into Albrecht's central thesis. People looking for something to easy to ease their justified anxieties about the future of hte planet will find some solace here, but a serious work of philosophy it is not.

    Reviewed in Australia on July 22, 2019
    I had a broad idea of the concepts and need for the new words Glenn introduces and ordered immediately I heard about it but didn't pick up to read until yesterday. Three hours on the train and I was taken on a journey by Glenn that was so evident in the landscape the train sped by. Reflections from my life led me to head-writing my own sumbiography. I am so grateful for the deepening of my knowledge behind solastalgia and how to frame what is happening with frightening speed to our planet right now. I look forward to the rest of the book.
