Award-winning youth activist Katie Hodgetts presents eight steps towards a new type of activism- by building inner resilience we create the tools we need to bring about impactful outer action.

What happens once the marches end? ""Activism"" has become synonymous with disruption, superglue and arrest - but there is another way. Discover a new type of changemaking that builds resilience for lasting impact.

Award-winning youth activist Katie Hodgetts founded The Resilience Project after a period of burnout from climate activism, and 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 in 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-

. Step 1- Vulnerability as strength . Step 2- Beyond identity politics- meet as humans . Step 3- Emotional permaculture- fight dragon, get the gold . Step 4- Control your narratives . Step 5- Learn to navigate burnout . Step 6- Build your resilience rucksack . Step 7- The eight types of rest . Step 8- Practice gratitude

This is activism meets self-care - for young people who want to be responsible world citizens without sacrificing themselves in the process.

Reviews for Act, Rest, Reset, Repeat: Create change without burning out

""Too many campaigners burn bright and burn out. This book reframes activism as something rooted in joy, connection and human capacity. It’s a much-needed handbook for sustaining ourselves so we can sustain the work."" – Kajal Odedra, author of Do Something: Activism for Everyone and Hair/ Power; Essays on Control and Freedom
