@amywestervelt There are so many people on the edges openly admitting this. Finding the places where these conversations are happening is what keeps me on twitter. Kate Raworth's Doughnut Economics was the first I found, and Douglas Rushkoff has interviewed many more on the Team Human podcast.

@surlybassey The Overstory by Richard Powers is a good one, and I also liked The Burning by Thomas Legendre, but science fiction is the place to look for stories willing to imagine a very different future.

@LeiaShotFirst Still learning how to do this. Sharon Salzberg's book Real Love has practices that I've found helpful for resetting my default brain messages.

@amyjccuddy Are you familiar with Riane Eisler's book The Chalice and the Blade? It's a very detailed explanation of the pattern behind this behavior.

@KateRaworth It doesn't read as mean to me. More like Good and Mad (Rebecca Traister's new book is excellent, and a great reminder of how deeply women have been socialized to not give offense). The stakes are high, and anger is very legitimate.

Out of stock

There's plenty of recent work on the way trauma acts across generations to perpetuate harm. A book I've found helpful is My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem, which looks at the history of slavery through this lens and offers ways to move through the trauma to better futures.

@girlziplocked At my encouragement, my dad is reading Bessel Van der Kolk's The Body Keeps the Score and Resmaa Menakem's My Grandmother's Hands. We're getting there. I don't think his father ever learned.
