Full Description
What happens once the marches end? "Activism" has become synonymous with disruption, superglue and arrest - but there is another way. Discover a new type of changemaking that builds resilience for lasting impact.
Award-winning youth activist Katie Hodgetts founded The Resilience Project after a period of burnout from climate activism, and in this book she empowers young adults to navigate a changing world by building up resilience through rest, community, connection and celebration.
Drawing on her own experiences, as well as research conducted alongside Imperial College London and Stanford University in California, Katie proposes a new type of activism for an anxious generation: one that breaks the cycle of fighting fire with fire, and is sustainable for our mental health and sense of identity as well as the planet. Follow the eight steps in this book:
Step 1: Vulnerability as strength
Step 2: Beyond identity politics: meet as humans
Step 3: Emotional permaculture: fight dragon, get the gold
Step 4: Control your narratives
Step 5: Learn to navigate burnout
Step 6: Build your resilience rucksack
Step 7: The eight types of rest
Step 8: Practice gratitude
This is activism meets self-care - for young people who want to be responsible world citizens without sacrificing themselves in the process.
