Radiant Rebellion: Reclaim Aging, Practice Joy, and Raise a Little Hell

This book managed to be super approachable and also pack a punch. This is def a book for people of any age ❤️ Tons of good little nuggets and actionable invitations woven through stories and interviews and the author’s musings, discussing things like spirituality, how to approach food and movement from a wellness-oriented and compassionate lens, the role of play, figuring out our “spark statements” and mission, and more.

It was also so nice to read a book by a fellow caribeña

I should've DNFed this. Live and learn

It's kind and optimistic, but light on actual facts, and I found that the most (only) interesting parts where a few cases where she was just quoting what other people had said or done.

This book describes the authors personal journey for self realization, and involves description of gratitude letter writing, journaling, meditation, setting a personal lode star, trying to be more open, and a brief (actually interesting) part about realizing and facing her own internalized racism and colonialism.

Nothing new, but it was not directly bad either. Just mid. Therefore, 2 stars from me.

inspiring reflective fast-paced

This was fantastic. I'm still early enough in my aging journey that this can influence how I proceed for decades to come. I have some amazing examples of people aging well around me and this book illuminated some specific ways to do it well myself. Very inspiring. I loved it. I would definitely recommend to ANYONE, not just people feeling the pull of age. I will read this again.

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective medium-paced

I’ve been thinking a lot about aging lately. As someone in their 30s I want to get older in the best way that I can. I don’t normally enjoy self help books. But this collection of stories and reflections in tandem with conversational interviews with incredible people did the trick. It was inspiring. It was peaceful to read. I enjoyed it and it has changed the way I see getting older! A lovely read that I really enjoyed. I even recommended it to my mother.
