NEW YORK—August 14, 2018—Morgan James’s new release, In It For the Long Haul: Overcoming Burnout and Passion Fatigue as Social Justice Change Agents by Kathy Obear, offers activists practical tips on how to reenergize, recommit, and rediscover their passion for social reform.
Those passionate about social justice often find themselves overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted by their commitment to change negative cultural norms. Driven by their desire to help others, these advocates tend to neglect their own self-care. Kathy Obear is no stranger to this trend. In her decades long career in the social change field, she considered quitting on more than one occasion due to burnout. Passionate about supporting others in their activism, Obear shares her experience in In It For the Long Haul. She helps readers recognize and respond to the warning signs of burnout.
Believing that self-care is the foundation for staying strong and committed to social change, Obear stresses the importance of prioritizing rest and reenergizing as part of the everyday routine. Throughout every chapter of In It For the Long Haul, she makes the topic of self-care relevant and relatable and provides tips for doing so that go beyond manicures and face masks. Obear also provides readers guidance for responding to the negative backlash they may receive and preventing self-sabotage.
In the social change movement, every change agent is crucial. In It For the Long Haul provides those already engaged in the fight for equality with the strength and support they need to maintain their passion and focus. It also provides those with the encouragement they need to know that change is possible and they can make a difference.
