About this listen

A longtime trauma worker, Laura van Dernoot Lipsky offers a deep and empathetic survey of the often-unrecognized toll on those working to make the world a better place. We may feel tired, cynical, numb, or like we can never do enough. These, and other symptoms, affect us individually and collectively, sapping the energy and effectiveness we so desperately need if we are to benefit humankind, other animals, and the planet itself. Through Trauma Stewardship, we are called to meet these challenges in an intentional way - not by becoming overwhelmed but by developing a quality of mindful presence. Joining the wisdom of ancient cultural traditions with modern psychological research, Lipsky offers a variety of simple and profound practices that will allow us to remake ourselves - and ultimately the world.

Great book and very helpful, but was frustrating to hear “Iraq” and “Hafez” mispronounced. Would recommend fixing this as the pronunciation you have is not even close.

The is is the best book in its field, integrating a variety of practices and knowledge lineages. The many case studies throughout are particularly helpful. The cartoon vignettes bring a sense of lightness. A meaningful and delightful read, highly recommend!
