“How We Ended Racism: Realizing a New Possibility in One Generation” (2023)
“It’s the year 2050… and racism has ended.” Could this really be our future? If so, what has to happen now to achieve such a radical change? In How We Ended Racism, Justin Michael Williams and Shelly Tygielski reveal a path for real and lasting global impact―not just talking about it, studying it, or making small steps, but actually ending racism in one generation. Williams and Tygielski draw from a wide array of scientific studies, as well as their practical successes in teaching a multitude of diverse groups across perceived “divides,” to show us how to shift our perspective and enact lasting change in our families, workplaces, communities, and beyond. Here they provide solid answers to the questions future generations will ask about this pivotal time in history, by laying out the eight conditions that needed to arise in humanity to realize this possibility, covering: • How was it possible? The research on large-scale social change that showed racism could end • What were the first steps? Overcoming doubt, owning our emotions, and committing to truth • What were the biggest challenges? Shadow work, big conversations, and forgiveness • Which tools actually worked? The field-tested methods that allowed us to heal and connect • Who ended racism? How we―each of us―helped our culture evolve to make racism a thing of the past “You don’t fix racism,” say the authors. “You don’t fight it. You don’t make it better. You end it. We learned how to bridge any political or ideological divide―inviting liberals, conservatives, and everyone in between to cocreate a future worth fighting for.” Here is a guide that dares to envision a world beyond typical diversity, equity, and inclusion work while providing tools and action steps to create a liberated future―so that our descendants can look back at this era as the time when we decided to end racism for the good of all.
“Stay Woke: A Meditation Guide for the Rest of Us” (2020)
CONFESSION: This is not really a meditation book. Yes, you’re going to learn everything you need to know about meditation, but if you came looking for a typical guide to mindfulness, you’re in the wrong place. We are modern people in a high-tech world. We have first world problems and long to-do lists. And if you grew up in struggle―overcoming homophobia, sexism, trauma, shame, depression, poverty, toxic masculinity, racism, or social injustice―you need a different type of meditation … one that doesn’t pretend the struggle doesn’t exist. Here you will discover: - How to actually find stillness when your mind is going crazy - Why most guided meditations get boring after a while - What nobody tells you about “setting intentions” and the scientific process to manifesting - Four hidden habits that sabotage your growth―and how to move past them - Proven techniques to overcome anxiety, stress, and trouble sleeping - Daily rituals that cement and enrich your practice - How to use mindfulness to take action toward the causes you believe in and get sh!t done Whether you’ve tried meditation but it never sticks, or you’ve heard about it but never gave it a shot, Justin Michael Williams guides you step by step in creating a custom meditation ritual that fits in with your busy (and sometimes messy!) modern life. With free downloadable audio meditations every step of the way, Stay Woke gives people of all genders, identities, colors, religions, ages, and economic backgrounds the tools to stop wasting time, overcome self-doubt, and wake up to the lives we were really born to live.
