Radical Self-Care: Rituals for Inner Resilience

In this book, wellness guide and yogini Moore challenges the market that financially capitalizes on radical self-care, a concept that originated with Black and Latine activists like bell hooks, Audre Lorde, and Gloria Anzaldua. Her beautiful new book spotlights accessible ways to a holistically sustainable, satisfying life. She provides a framework for making space for meditation, breath work, embodiment, and other modes of being more present, without breaking one’s back or bank account. From the acronym she uses to demonstrate the human body’s biological potential for self-soothing (DOSE: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins) through her clear, actionable practices for becoming fully present with oneself, in nature, and as part of one’s community, she gives readers a holistic approach for self-care that feels gentle yet rebellious. The book is beautifully illustrated with minimalist drawings (mostly of slim bodies) and photos of Moore demonstrating practices.
