The Patriarchy Within: How to Liberate Your Brain

14 May 2024

Description

How has our patriarchal society structured your thoughts and how can you take them back? If you’ve always considered “reprogramming your brain” to be mystical mumbo jumbo, this guest might just change your mind. I certainly had to adjust my preconceived notions when I read Kara Loewentheil‘s new book, Take Back Your Brain: How a Sexist Society Gets in Your Head and How to Get It Out.Kara and I talk about the insidious nature of our patriarchal society and the impact of that socialization on our brains. We cover making the leap into your dream job and the balance between systemic and individual change. The founder of A New School of Feminist Thought, Kara teaches women how to rewire their thought patterns to spur societal change, and her work is just the eye-opening and mind-expanding approach that women can benefit from.Learn more about how your brain works and how to deprogram the patriarchy from within, starting with:Our tendency to throw out the dreams that don’t please everyone;Mistaking a layer of liberating beliefs for a fundamental cognitive shift;Forgetting that every major social change started with one person’s thoughts;How we define and approach radical acceptance and radical action.Related Links:Order Kara’s book - https://www.takebackyourbrainbook.com/Listen to the UnF*** Your Brain podcast - https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/podcasts/Connect with Kara online - https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/about/EP 323: How To Lead With Emotional Intelligence | Best Of Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode323Permission to Feel: The Power of Emotional Intelligence to Achieve Well-Being and Success by Marc Brackett - https://bookshop.org/p/books/permission-to-feel-unlocking-the-power-of-emotions-to-help-our-kids-ourselves-and-our-society-thrive-marc-brackett/9879244?ean=9781250212832Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - https://bookshop.org/p/books/man-s-search-for-meaning-viktor-e-frankl/8996943?ean=9780807014271Speak Up: A Live Assertive Communication Course for Women in the Workplace - https://www.bossedup.org/speakupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
