The Age of Overwhelm by Laura Van Dernoot Lipsky
Whether we are overwhelmed by work or school; our families or communities; caretaking for others or ourselves; or engagement in social justice, environmental advocacy, or civil service, just a few subtle shifts can help us sustain. Laura van Dernoot Lipsky, bestselling author of Trauma Stewardship, shows us how, offering concrete strategies to help us mitigate harm, cultivate our ability to be decent and equitable, and to act with integrity. The Age of Overwhelm aims to help ease our burden of overwhelm, restore our perspective, and give us strength to navigate what is yet to come.The Trauma Stewardship Institute was founded by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky, who is also the author of the best-selling book Trauma Stewardship. She has worked with individuals, systems, and communities all around the world for more than three decades and is widely regarded as a pioneer in the field of trauma exposure. Laura was one among the first to talk openly about the link between environmental science and trauma, as well as the toll that mass extinction, irreversible ecological losses, and other forms of human invasion take on individuals and organizations. Simultaneously, she has long been an activist in social and environmental justice movements, as well as a lecturer on problems of systematic oppression and liberation theory. Her TED Talk was one of the first to be given inside a women's correctional facility, condensing some of the concepts she shares to help people who have faced human and environmental trauma find their way through. Laura serves on a number of nonprofit organizations, is an associate producer on the award-winning film A Lot Like You, and was recently honored with a Yo!
