The Lightmaker's Manifesto: How to Work for Change Without Losing Your Joy by Karen Walrond
5.0
I am not normally a self-help/personal growth/happiness book reader, but I happily devoured this book - The Lightmaker's Manifesto: How to Work for Change Without Losing Your Joy - because I know the author, Karen Walrond, to be a light-filled human who practices what she preaches. Lawyer, engineer, leadership coach, photographer, mom and wife, Karen is also a wonderful speaker and a talented writer.
The Lightmaker's Manifesto did not disappoint. This book was filled with light and love and encouragement. The encouragement came not just from Karen but also from her activist friends - Asha Dornfest, Brene Brown, Valarie Kaur, Tarana Burke and Brad Montegue to name a few. Karen encouraged me to listen to my own heart's whispers and see my own activism as joy-filled. The book was well organized and compelling reading. I especially loved the "manual" at the end with journal prompts, templates and exercises to cultivate my own "joy-filled advocacy practice." I underlined and bookmarked the whole time I was reading the book. Now I am starting a fresh journal to explore some new ideas that came from reading this book. I have lots to think about, thanks to this provoking book.
