Loving Corrections

Emergent Strategy, Book 12

By: adrienne maree brown, Janine de Novais

Narrated by: adrienne maree brown

New York Times-bestselling author adrienne maree brown knows we need each other more than ever and offers a practice for holding collective power, righting wrongs, and generating true belonging.

Ethical, pondering, and wondrous, adrienne maree brown’s Loving Corrections is a collection of love-based adjustments and reframes to grow our movements for liberation while navigating a society deeply fractured by greed, racism, and war. In this landmark book, brown invigorates her influential writing on belonging and accountability into the framework of “loving corrections”: a generative space where rehearsals for the revolution become the everyday norm in relating to one another.

Filled with practical wisdom on how to be a trustworthy communicator while providing bold visions for a shared future, Loving Corrections can speak to everyone caught in the crossroads of our political challenges and potential. No matter how new to the struggle, or how numerous our failures, brown’s indispensable writing is an invitation to us all.

Critic reviews

"[A] refreshing and earnest meditation...Organizers should take note."—Publisher's Weekly

"Probing, fierce, and honest, the essays of Loving Corrections advocate for more compassionate, inclusive understandings of family, community, and oneself."—Foreword Reviews

"The world becomes more soft, more creative, more loving, and more evolved every time adrienne maree brown decides to put pen to paper, and in Loving Corrections we have some of her best and most beautiful, thoughtful, and moving writing helping us to really delve deeply into what 'right relationship' means for ourselves in any given moment or circumstance. It is a gorgeous gift of thinking and writing but also a meditative thought partner to help readers begin to craft their own loving corrections in various parts of our lives."—Tarana Burke, author of Unbound: My Story of Liberation and the Birth of the Me Too Movement

Loving reflections, practical guidance

Another great reflection from a.m.b. Full of insightful examples from her own life and work as well as practical guidance for relationships both internal & interpersonal, personal and professional. The only critique is that some of it is repurposed from previous writings, but overall the way that is incorporated into her main concept of Loving Corrections is still valuable and worth revisiting.

Always a learning experience

wonderful book. I love to hear books written and then read by insightful people. I have learned so much for AMB, and count her a teacher of my life.

Soft and powerful

Like a gentle yet clear love poem to humans who want a better world with all of our hearts and also need to tend to our actual hearts.
