In this ever-evolving world, how do you stay grounded in your roots and utilize your unique abilities to ensure the steady progress of humanity for all? According to author Laurie Benson, hope is a fundamental key asset for pursuing growth and change. In Resilient Activism, Benson shares stories and practices to help readers find ways to overcome adversity, pain, and trauma through hope and resilience. The book introduces the concept of "Wild Hope" and explores its three pillars -- awareness, exploration, and activation. You will learn to activate your Wild Hope, create meaningful change by attaining a deeper understanding of our interconnections, use your unique gifts to facilitate change, work toward a greater purpose, cultivate empathy and interconnectedness in innovative ways that transcend reliance on technological tools, and more.

Amidst all the noise and hectic pace of modern living, it can be difficult to find your place in the world, let alone strive for the greater good. This is why books like Resilient Activism are so important and relevant today. Using personal anecdotes and real-life examples, author Laurie Benson presents an insightful guide to modern living. It focuses on making progress for the betterment of humanity by maximizing the unique skills and attributes of each person through hope, resilience, and interconnectedness. It's not your typical self-help guide with a rigid step-by-step instruction manual. Instead, Benson invites you on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, encouraging you to uncover your inner potential and make a meaningful impact in the world. I found the book not only inspiring but also thought-provoking. It will change the way you view the world around you. Highly recommended!
