Recommended Books in Self-Advocacy

You know how when you read a good book, you want someone else to read it too, so you can share? Well, here's a list of books I recommend in my Self-Advocacy talks. I'll add to it, but here's what's on my mind lately: Bridges, Jeff, The Dude and the Zen Master

Cameron, Julia, The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity

Estes, Clarissa Pinkola, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Goldberg, Natalie, Wild Mind: Living the Writer’s Life

Hyde, Lewis, The Gift

Susan Jeffers, Feel the Fear And Do It Anyway

Kabat-Zinn, Jon, Wherever You Go, There You Are

Kahlo, Frida, The Diary of Frida Kahlo

Kephart, Beth, Handling the Truth

Lightman, Alan, Einstein’s Dreams

Thich Nhat Hanh, The Art of Power

SARK, Succulent Wild Woman

Happy Reading!

Welcome

Welcome to the Self-Advocacy Toolbox! This blog is a place to share our struggles, triumphs, and anecdotes in the self-advocacy journey. Here, we'll talk about things we have learned with the Toolbox and also how we answer the Advocacy Questions:

What do I want? What are my immediate and long-term goals? What obstacles are in the way of me achieving it? How can I change my environment (socially, personally, at work, at school) in order to achieve it? What steps are going to make that possible? I'll be speaking about the Toolbox at many events in the coming year. One of these is the Body Love Conference, April 5 in Tucson, AZ., and another is the Oregon Country Fair, July 11, 12, and 13, in Veneta, OR. I'll keep this site updated with appearnaces and look forward to hearing your stories.
