We want to take action, but so many of us struggle with overwhelm and burnout. And on top of it all, we get so many messages telling us to relax, to \"let it go\" and feel some other way about things. We'd like to think that emotional intelligence and mindfulness will help--but why do these approaches so often fall short in fever-pitch moments? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his warm, funny, streetwise style, Ralph De La Rosa offers tools for coping in contentious times. Full of insights and practices addressing everything from trauma triggers to privilege guilt and the art of saying no, \u003ci\u003eDon't Tell Me to Relax\u003c\/i\u003e brings the welcome news that our thoughts and emotions are not the enemy. Rather, when met skillfully, they can light the way to self-empathy, social understanding, and an activism that has room for both inner and outer work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ralph de la Rosa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611808405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611808407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2020","brand":"Ralph de la Rosa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049787879679,"sku":"9781611808407","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb13536e-19a8-45b6-bd19-da48fa6d0649.jpg?v=1685003458","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dont-tell-me-to-relax-ralph-de-la-rosa-9781611808407","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
