About this listen
The New York Times best seller from AK Press is now an audiobook — read by Adrienne Maree Brown herself!
How do we make social justice the most pleasurable human experience? How can we awaken within ourselves desires that make it impossible to settle for anything less than a fulfilling life? Author and editor Adrienne Maree Brown finds the answer in something she calls “pleasure activism,” a politics of healing and happiness that explodes the dour myth that changing the world is just another form of work. Drawing on the black feminist tradition, she challenges us to rethink the ground rules of activism.
Her mindset-altering essays are interwoven with conversations and insights from other feminist thinkers, including Audre Lorde, Joan Morgan, Cara Page, Sonya Renee Taylor, and Alexis Pauline Gumbs. Together, they cover a wide array of subjects — from sex work to climate change, from race and gender to sex and drugs — building new narratives about how politics can feel good and how what feels good always has a complex politics of its own.
Building on the success of her popular Emergent Strategy, Adrienne brings her audience experimental, expansive, and innovative ways to meet the challenges that face our world today.

Beyond incredible
I seriously cannot stop raving about how lovely and soothing Adriennes voice is, I can honestly listen to her read all day! Her book is so liberating as well, so refreshing to hear about pleasure and connect to everything she touched on. It’s so beautifully broken down into different topics, I keep coming back to saved parts when I need to feel empowered.
