About Madness...
MADNESS ON THE BRINK OF ECO-APOCALYPSE is not just a book — it’s a primal scream.
Fueled by heartbreak and righteous fury, Cheryl Leutjen rips the blindfold off our collective delusion and shoves readers face-first into the chaos we’ve unleashed upon the Earth. This isn’t some detached academic treatise. This is what happens when a geologist, environmental attorney, and outraged mother watches life-support systems collapse while humanity hits the snooze button — again.
This book is mad. Every page seethes with the knowledge that we could have done better. We should have done better. But here we are — drowning in plastic, burning through forests, and teetering on the brink of collapse while profiteers toast our demise.
Leutjen doesn’t flinch. She calls out the madness, exposes the lies, and demands we take action— not tomorrow, not someday — now.
This book dares us all to channel our fury into collective purpose —to connect, to collaborate, to rebuild. At every turn, she shines a light on those steadily doing the work — the community composters, guerrilla gardeners, citizen scientists, clothing swappers, and rebel souls who show us what's possible. Their hands are already in the soil, their solutions already taking root, and Leutjen urges us to step in beside them. Because we sure can’t wait for oligarchs, bureaucrats, or megacorps to save us.
We are here to save ourselves.
An Excerpt:
“There’s so much to be mad about these days, and, despite my propensity to rant, I repress the worst of my anger, stockpiling it in a smoldering tinder box that requires half of my dwindling energy just to contain. I’m a deeply spiritual, New Age type person, well-schooled in the Law of Attraction which schools us to amplify our positive thoughts because like attracts like. If I want more hope, more happiness, more joy in my life, then I must project more hope! More happiness! More joy! Because we get more of what we think about most. . .
I’ve battled so long and so hard to stay aboard that power-of-positive-thinking train that I can’t speak the words “I’m angry” aloud without looking for the lightning bolts. Ridiculous. So, as of today, with YOU as my witness… I am giving myself permission purge the negativity like a scene from The Exorcist, to rant like I’ve never ranted before.
Forget the years of training in Midwest Nice. Say it all without consideration of the karmic blowback—even to the point of revealing my cringiest confession: I’m mad at God. I feel we’ve been set up to fail. Which makes me even madder. . . “
