Beschreibung
Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Grandmomma Ruth who was always the first one to volunteer for the church coat drive...
They taught you how to give,
How to make an impact, and how to ignore your inner needs until you're on the verge of a literal breakdown.
Here's the thing, it's not that anyone set out to teach you that making a difference means having to fall on your own sword, it's just that there hasn't been much evidence that it was possible for it to look any other way. Until now.
Whether you've been in the fight against oppression for decades, or are new to taking action, now is the moment where you become an example of widespread impact while still managing to live a happy and fully satisfying life, filled with the things and people you love.
Would you like to know how?
In Feel Better. Do Better. author and editor Dr. Deb Shine Valentine and eight colleagues offer a beginners' guide to walking on a path that Deb calls "thriving for equity." It's one that emerged out of her failure to suffer enough to make the world a measurably better place and her desperate need to find a way to enjoy life enough to want to keep waking up in the morning. Along the way she found some amazing fellow travelers who shared a commitment dismantling (or dissolving) the white-supremacist-capitalist-patriarchy using stealth tactics like exercising self-compassion, cultivating pleasure, and learning in community.
Unlike many books in this genre that gloss over the different experiences and challenges
that face People of Color and White people on the journey towards joy and justice, Feel Better. Do Better. was written with that messy complexity right at the center.
Each chapter includes:
- An invitation from Deb (a White, cis-gender life and leadership coach, educator, blogger, and DEIJ consultant) to consider a new way to move forward towards both a more just world and your own delight in the life you're living. Not one or the other.
- An essay by a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color/Culture) author that further illuminates this path and expands possibilities.
- Resources for your journey - practices to try, books and podcasts to check out, other ways to find support.
You can feel better and still be a good person. Come with us. We're right here waiting for you.
