The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club is excited to begin a new journey as we dive into Elif Shafak’s How to Stay Sane in an Age of Division.
 
In this timely and powerful manifesto, Shafak explores how we can maintain our empathy and mental well-being in a world increasingly defined by tribalism and social fragmentation. She challenges us to resist the “politics of fear” and instead embrace plurality, reminding us that curiosity and the ability to listen are radical acts of resistance in a polarized era.
 
All are welcome! Whether you are a lifelong anarchist or just beginning your journey, join us to discuss how nurturing our inner resilience and collective compassion is a necessary step toward building a more just and connected world.
