Resilience, she proves, is always relational.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChemaly dismantles notions of resilience rooted in the philosophies of “mind over matter,” “mental toughness,” “strength,” and “positive thinking,” arguing that our modern version of “resilience” is a bill of goods that has been sold to us by capitalism, colonialism, and ideologies that embrace supremacy over others. Instead, she makes the case that true resilience comes from acknowledging our fragility, recognising our interdependencies—on each other, on nature, on time—and cultivating nurturing relationships that sustain us. Throughout, Chemaly provides concrete examples of how to enact this new model in our daily lives. She sheds new light on ACE (adverse childhood experiences) research to reframe how parents and educators should think about the long-term impact of childhood trauma, debunks the powerful notion of “bouncing back,” and explains why we have to turn away from believing that we always have to “soldier on.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlending rigorous research and enthralling personal storytelling, \u003ci\u003eThe Resilience Myth\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new vision for collective healing by emphasising care for our neighbours—both human and nonhuman—and our environments over just ourselves. By prioritising compassion, creativity, and connection, this book ignites essential conversations about fostering resilience for all, not just for those who can afford it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46525767254252,"sku":"9781668079133","price":36.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781668079133_c3fd849b-daae-4533-873a-25ae05b05f63.jpg?v=1749103677"},{"product_id":"all-we-want-is-everything-by-soraya-chemaly-9781668246610","title":"All We Want Is Everything","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the award-winning author of a “battle-cry of a book” (\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRage Becomes Her\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e, comes a fearless and timely manifesto for identifying and rejecting male supremacy in our daily lives.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on her trademark skill, wit, clarity, and sharp insight, Soraya Chemaly walks us through how male supremacy operates, adapting dynamically in order to maintain cruel, exploitative systems of oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMale supremacy, she asserts, isn’t primarily about men dominating women; rather, it is a system that first and foremost violently pits men against each other using women and marginalized communities as resources in their competition for power.
