Temper

Begin the journey to freedom, even when the way is uncertain"Every page in Temper sizzles with ancient truth and brand new, desperately needed hope. The world is on fire-it's true. Temper is our Emergency Exit."-Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed "Temper is challenging and heartbreaking, mystical and invitational, ancestral and glorious."-Dr. Resmaa Menakem, New York Times bestselling author of My Grandmother's HandsFreedom isn't a distant, political goal, but rather something we can practice right now. Drawing on the ancestral wisdom of Harriet Tubman and other fugitives, the lineage of Black Feminism, and the discipline of martial arts, Autumn Brown teaches us how to temper our bodies and spirits for this resilient practice of freedom-exactly where we are. In this urgent and soulful book, Brown teaches you to: * Shift from a fugue state of trauma-induced dissociation to a fugitive state of alertness and agency to navigate the ever-changing world. * Stop the exhausting attempt to control your environment and start the practice of conditioning for the unknown. * Discover how your deepest sources of pain can connect you with ancestral wisdom. * Experience how falling apart together can create a sense of life-saving connectedness. Autumn writes, "We ask ourselves, with every choice we make, how are we building capacity, fortitude, strength, intuition, and resilience that births a future freedom we could all live and thrive in?" Step onto the fugitive path and discover the truth: you were made for this crossing.
