“A clear, powerful, direct, wise, and extremely helpful treatise on how to combat and heal from the ubiquitous violence of white supremacy” (Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author) from thought leader, racial justice educator, and acclaimed spiritual activist Rachel Ricketts.

Do Better is a revolutionary offering that addresses racial justice from a comprehensive, intersectional, and spirit-based perspective. This actionable guidebook illustrates how to engage in the heart-centered and mindfulness-based practices that will help us all fight white supremacy from the inside out, in our personal lives and communities alike. It is a loving and assertive call to do the deep—and often uncomfortable—inner work that precipitates much-needed external and global change.

Filled with carefully curated soulcare activities—such as guided meditations and transformative breathwork—“Do Better answers prayers that many have prayed. Do Better offers a bold possibility for change and healing. Do Better offers a deeply sacred choice that we must all make at such a time as this” (Iyanla Vanzant, New York Times bestselling author).

Ricketts uses a combination of personal stories, statistics, necessarily harsh......more

Goodreads review by Bethan

Firstly, anyone upset by the language used in this book (which isn’t even excessive?!) and has given a 1-2* review or not even finished the book needs to reassess their choice. I imagine (and judging by those reviews) it’s mainly us white people who have been triggered by the book and it’s direct ap......more

Goodreads review by Nikki

The three-star review as written by user Jessica pretty much encapsulates all of my feelings about this book, and is written so well that I’m not going to waste my time trying to analyze this book any more than she did. I will say what still sticks out as one of the sharpest thorns from this text wa......more

Goodreads review by Andrea

*I received this book from NetGalley in return for a honest review* This book is both easy to read and extremely challenging, Rachel has a way of writing that draws you in and makes you think about the world in a way differently than you have been. Through a whole variety of topics the author delves......more
