Description

A guide to finding joy, beauty, and meaning when the world is falling apart, from New York Times bestselling author Sarah Wilson.

What if collapse isn’t the end, but the beginning of a beautiful new way of living?

We are already living through collapse. Climate extremes, political turmoil, and fractured communities are no longer on the horizon – they are here now. For decades we held on to the hope that everything would turn out fine; but our deadlines have passed, tipping points are unfolding, and clinging to hope can deepen our confusion and despair.

However, with the loss of hope comes relief. Relief that we can stop pretending, release the exhausting effort to believe against evidence, and finally acknowledge our communal fear as we watch our world changing irreparably.

Instead of falling into panic and disillusionment, Sarah shows us how to embrace this era with presence, courage, and awe. Drawing on years of research and over 200 interviews with philosophers, scientists, spiritual leaders, and everyday seekers, she weaves hard truths with soulful practices to help us rise above fear and use our energy to reconnect with what matters most.

Readers will discover how to:
Confront collapse with honesty while cultivating resilience and creativity Find beauty, joy, and connection in chaos Reclaim agency through radical simplicity, community, and compassion
Sarah invites readers into a post-hope consciousness rooted not in denial, but in meaning. I Eat the Stars is a vital companion for navigating the times we live in—and for living fully, fiercely, and beautifully despite them.
