| Description: | For readers of The Body Keeps the Score and The Myth of Normal, a powerful manifesto that makes the case for resilience based in community and care, rather than individualist mantras of grit and toxic positivity, told through a kaleidoscopic investigation of the history, social science, psychology, and personal narratives behind how we handle trauma The author of the “must-read” (NPR) Rage Becomes Her presents a powerful manifesto for communal resilience based on in-depth investigations into history, social science, and psychology. We are often urged to rely only on ourselves for strength, mental fortitude, and positivity. But with her distinctive “skill, wit, and sharp insight” (Laura Bates, author of Girl Up), Soraya Chemaly challenges us to adapt our thinking about how we survive in a world of sustained, overlapping crises. It is interdependence and nurturing relationships that truly sustain us, she argues. Based on comprehensive research and eye-opening examples from real-life, The Resilience Myth offers alternative visions of relational hardiness by emphasizing care for others and our environments above all. |
