Five Rules for Rebellion: Let's Change the World Ourselves by Sophie Walker
4.0
4,5/5
I really enjoyed "Five Rules For Rebellion", not just because of the five rules it actually gives you, but primarily, because of the stories of women Sophie Walker interviewed to illustrate her points. Some of them brought me to tears.
In short, this book teaches you how to be an activist. But, unfortunately, it will be read by people who already have a tendency to be political and a desire to change systems in their communities or countries.
Sophie Walker proposes the reader to embark in a hopeful, empathic, enraged but resilient activism, that is put in practice by action and that includes everyone who wants to be a part or feels oppressed or unheard. Walker also urges you to acknowledge your own potential and capability to make a change. This is why my favourite quote on the book was: "One is surprised and shocked how one can be so fearless ad limitless. That's why I propose understanding through action because without action the limits of understanding, and especially understanding yourself, are so narrow, you don't know what you are capable of."
If you have a fire inside you for change and if you want to do something about it, please read "Five Rules for Rebellion".
