Overview
Award-winning youth activist Katie Hodgetts founded The Resilience Project after a period of burnout from climate activism. 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, 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: Guidepost 1: Humans first, changemakers second; Guidepost 2: The power of peer-support; Guidepost 3: Let your feelings eat; Guidepost 4: Narratives: resist, reclaim and reimagine; Guidepost 5: The wisdom of burnout; Guidepost 6: Your resilience rucksack; Guidepost 7: The eight types of rest; Guidepost 8: Gratitude without numbing This is a rallying cry for a different way to do changemaking-one that centers self-change over self-care-for young people who want to be responsible world citizens without sacrificing themselves in the process.
