Driven by expansion, colonialism, and resource extraction and propelled by neoliberalism and rabid consumption, our world is profoundly out of balance. We take more than we give; we inoculate ourselves in positive self-regard while continuing to make harmful choices; we wreak irreparable havoc on the ecosystems, habitats, and beings with whom we share our planet. But instead of drowning in hopelessness, how can we learn to face our reality with humility and accountability? Machado de Oliveira breaks down archetypes of cognitive dissonance and asks us to dig deeper and exist differently. She explains how our habits, behaviors, and belief systems hold us back, and why it’s time now to gradually disinvest. Includes exercises used with teachers, NGO practitioners, and global changemakers.
