Kaitlin B. Curtice

Radically different from any other "self-help" guide I've ever read and all the better for it. Kaitlin writes about connecting to ourselves, our earth, each other, our ancestors, and to spirituality. Each section has personal experiences as well as a few tips and a few prompts. You can enact as little or as much as you want and compared to other guides - there is no pressure. I wish I would have savored this book a little longer rather than rushing through reading it. I'll definitely turn back to the text for refreshers and inspiration. No matter your ethnicity or spirituality this book is an important and empowering read.… (plus d'informations)

Living Resistance is about resistance and how you can use it in everyday life and not just at protests or boycotting things. Kaitlin B. Curtice looks at resistance in different realms: the personal, the communal, the ancestral, and the integral. She explains each realm at the beginning of each section to help the reader understand it more thoroughly.

I was kind of excited about this book. I’ve been trying to get into reading more nonfiction and I thought this would be one I would enjoy. Maybe it just wasn’t really for me.

I felt like it was a bit repetitive, which makes sense because it’s about life and life is messy and isn’t always straight forward, but when I’m reading a different story with the same message at the end, it gets a bit boring.

It was also a bit more religious than what I was looking for, not so much spiritual.

I feel like a lot of people will be able to take from this, but it just didn’t speak to me as I would hope it would.

I will say, it did make me think about how I want to look to my descendants as their ancestor and what I would want to leave behind for them.
