Capitalist ideology wants us to believe that there is an optimal
way to live. 'Making connections' means networking for work. Our
emotional needs are to be fulfilled by a single romantic partner,
and self-care equates to taking personal responsibility for our
suffering. We must be productive and heterosexual, we must have
babies and buy a house. But the kicker is most people cannot and do
not want to achieve these goals. Instead we are left feeling
atomised, exhausted and disempowered. Radical Intimacy shows that
it doesn't need to be this way. Including inspiring ideas for
alternative ways to live, Sophie K Rosa demands we use our radical
imagination to discover a new form of intimacy. Including critiques
of the 'wellness' industry that ignores rising poverty rates, the
mental health crisis and racist and misogynist state violence;
transcending love and sex under capitalism to move towards
feminist, decolonial and queer thinking; asking whether we should
abolish the family; interrogating the framing of ageing and death
and much more, Radical Intimacy is the compassionate antidote to a
callous society. Now as an audiobook, to listen to on the go.
