A guide to getting through summer on your own terms

Lindsey Smith frames summer as a season that can bring more than sunshine: the book addresses heat, summer-related low mood, and anxiety about a warming planet. Its practical material includes ideas for staying cool without air conditioning and ways to make staying indoors feel like a choice, alongside playful illustrated features. The humor sits alongside tools the publisher describes as research-based, including material on distinguishing summer and winter seasonal affective disorder and an illustrated guide to acupuncture points. The result is a mix of coping suggestions and lighthearted recognition for people whose relationship with summer differs from the usual sunny ideal.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People who experience low mood or anxiety around summer
  • Readers concerned about heat and climate change
  • Those who want practical, humorous ideas for navigating warmer months

Book overview

Author and certified health coach Lindsey Smith returns with a refreshingly funny, practical guide to surviving summertime on a warming planet--a perfect gift for Seasonal Affective Disorder sufferers, the perennially climate anxious, and everyone who dreads a wet bulb temperature. Welcome to Summer Haters Club!

Here at Summer Haters Club, you'll learn how to master the art of crafting the perfect excuse to stay indoors, discover creative ways to beat the heat if you don't have an air-conditioned sanctuary, and explore the joy of embracing your inner winter lover in a world obsessed with sunshine and sandals.

Self-proclaimed lifelong summer hater Lindsey Smith makes light of heavy sweat, writing features with whimsical illustrations like:
  • Everyday Household Objects You Can Turn into a Portable Fan (like a leftover pizza box or tarot cards)
  • A Venn Diagram showing the difference between Summer SAD and Winter SAD (spoiler: they both suck)
  • An emotional-support doll to show all the acupuncture spots that can chill you out when you feel heat-induced anxiety kicking in

Don't be fooled by the humor--this book is rooted in research-based tools and techniques. Whether you're a seasoned summer hater, are a reluctant newcomer, or you're increasingly more anxious about our overheating planet, Summer Haters Club is guaranteed to make you laugh, commiserate, and learn some new tips to better survive the warmer months. So crank up the air conditioning and join the coolest club of all: the Summer SADDIES.
