520 $a"A provocative, essential guide to showing up for each other and cultivating community, from activist, community organizer and thought leader whose viral TED talk has been viewed more than 1.8 million times"--$cProvided by publisher
520 $aAfter almost every presentation activist and writer Mia Birdsong gives to executives, think tanks, and policy makers, one of those leaders quietly confesses how much they long for the profound community she describes. They have family, friends, and colleagues, yet they still feel like they’re standing alone. They’re “winning” at the American Dream, but they’re lonely, disconnected, and unsatisfied. It seems counterintuitive that living the “good life” – the well-paying job, the nuclear family, the upward mobility – can make us feel isolated and unhappy. But in a divided America, where only a quarter of us know our neighbors and everyone is either a winner or loser, we’ve forgotten the key element that helped us make progress in the first place: community. In this provocative, groundbreaking work, Mia Birdsong shows that what separates us aren’t only the ever-present injustices built around race, class, gender, values, and beliefs, but also the denial o four interdependence and need for belonging. In response to the fear and discomfort we feel, we’ve built walls, and instead of leaning on one another, we find ourselves leaning on concrete. Through research, interviews, and stories of lived experience, How We Show Up returns us to our inherent connectedness where we find strength, safety, and support in vulnerability and generosity, in asking for help, and in being accountable. Showing up – literally and figuratively – points us toward the promise of our collective vitality and leads us to the liberated well-being we all want.
