Book description
"Reading this courageous book feels like the beginning of a social and personal awakening...I can't stop thinking about it."--BrenΓ© Brown, PhD, author of Atlas of the Heart For readers of Emergent Strategy and Dare to Lead, an activist's roadmap to long-term social justice impact through four simple shifts. We need a fundamental shift in our values--a pivot in how we think, act, work, and connect. Despite what we've been told, the most critical mainspring of social change isn't coalition building or problem analysis. It's healing: deep, whole, and systemic, inside and out. Here, Shawn Ginwright, PhD, breaks down the common myths of social movements--a set of deeply ingrained beliefs that actually hold us back from healing and achieving sustainable systemic change. He shows us why these frames don't work, proposing instead four revolutionary pivots for better activism and collective leadership: Awareness from lens to mirrorConnection from transactional to transformative relationshipsVision from problem-fixing to possibility-creatingPresence from hustle to flow Supplemented with reflections, prompts, cutting-edge research, and the author's own insights and lived experience as an African American social scientist, professor, and movement builder, The Four Pivots helps us uncover our obstruction points. It shows us how to discover new lenses and boldly assert our need for connection, transformation, trust, wholeness, and healing. It gives us permission to create a better future--to acknowledge that a broken system has been predefining our dreams and limiting what we allow ourselves to imagine, but that it doesn't have to be that way at all. Are you ready to pivot?
