This is a desperately needed book that reminds us that true healing involves both self-care and social justice work to address the underlying conditions that create stress and inequities. Based on penetrating analysis clearly informed by her own practice, Pyles offers us a new interdisciplinary paradigm that invites us to think beyond the individualism and dualism endemic to Western culture. She skillfully interweaves both practical and theoretical tools to breakdown the false dichotomy between caring for ourselves and our world and provides both hope and specific means for preventing burnout and cultivating resilience.
