Rhythm of a Rebel
From the bestselling author of Balancing Burnout comes a bracing new vision of recovery, rebellion, and the rhythm of living: Rhythm of a Rebel.
Reflecting on a cultish childhood, a near-death experience, and a return to ballet in her thirties, Vanessa Autrey explores how healing is an act of rebellion and navigates what it means to be most authentically alive.
Drawing on art, philosophy, literature, and lived experience, Rhythm of a Rebel asks if we can take the worst life has handed us and make of it something meaningful, generative, and good. Autrey rejects the myth that healing is linear. Instead, she captures its oscillation between difficulty and transcendence.
“That is how the soul grows back to wholeness,” Autrey writes. “That is the rhythm of how we heal.”
Lyrical, propulsive, and achingly human, Rhythm of a Rebel reveals how to emerge from the grief that stains us and make our journey of healing a certain kind of joy.
