From social psychologist and author of Unmasking Autism Dr Devon Price comes a bold and
transformative manifesto against self-blame culture. Walking past a homeless person buying a
top made in a sweatshop that you'll wear a handful of times reading the news and feeling - yet
again - powerlessness to the point of apathy. Today it's basically impossible not to carry
shame about the state of the world and our place in it. Though we try and make good choices and
live by our values it can feel like we're not doing it right. When the political is so
personal and the personal so political it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sense that we're
not doing enough - maybe even that we're not enough. In Unlearning Shame social psychologist
and author of Unmasking Autism Dr Devon Price explains why holding individuals responsible for
systemic issues can be so personally devastating and teaches us how to unlearn shame that
doesn't serve us. By outlining small daily ways to feel empowered and examining how real
structural change can and does happen Devon gifts us with the tools to overcome self-blame be
truly compassionate to ourselves and others and feel hopeful again.
