The book explores alternatives to the belief that individual achievement, accumulation, and attention-seeking are the road to happiness and satisfaction in life. Letting go demands a radical recognition that the values, relationships, and structures of our neoliberal (competitive, striving, accumulating, consuming, exploiting, oppressive) society are harmful both on a personal level and, especially important, on a social and environmental level. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e There is a huge difference between letting go and \"chilling out.\" In a lean-in society, self-care is promoted as something women and men should do to learn how to \"relax\" and find a comfortable work-life balance. By contrast, a feminist letting-go and its attendant self-care have the potential to be a radical act of awakening to social and environmental injustice and a call to activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donna King\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826520650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826520654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanderbilt University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 6.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Donna King","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202681946367,"sku":"9780826520654","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_976b46fc-2e18-4a25-a6a4-dc48a2fcc099.jpg?v=1756833094","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/letting-go-donna-king-9780826520654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
