DIY Rules for a WTF World: How to Speak Up, Get Creative, and Change the World

by Krista Suh Narrated by Krista Suh

Overview

From the creator of the Pussyhat Project comes a manifesto for every woman to create her own distinct and original path to joy, success, and impact.

On January 21, 2017, millions of protestors took part in the Women's March, and many of them created a "sea of pink" when they wore knitted pink "pussyhats" in record numbers. The pussyhat swiftly found its place on the cover of TIME and the New Yorker, and it ultimately came to symbolize resistance culture. Creator of the Pussyhat Project, Krista Suh, took an idea and built a worldwide movement and symbol in just two months. But like so many women, Krista spent years letting her fears stop her from learning to live by her own rules.

Now in DIY Rules for a WTF World, Krista Suh shares the tools, tips, experiences, "rules," and knitting patterns she uses to get creative, get bold, and change the world. From learning how to use your own intuition to decide which rules are right for you to finding your inner-courage to speak up fearlessly; from finding what your passions are (this might surprise you!) to dealing with the squelchers out there, DIY Rules for a WTF World not only inspires you to demolish the patriarchy, but also enables you to create your own rules for living, and even a movement of your own, all with gusto, purpose, and joy.

Krista Suh shares the roller coaster of emotions she felt after the 2016 national election and how her feeling of powerlessness led her to act. Suh is the creator of the Pussyhat Project, which involves women knitting pink cat-eared hats as a symbol of empowerment. Here she calls women to exercise power and creativity in their everyday lives. She delivers the audiobook in a strong, confident voice, at the same time coming across like a best friend who is giving a pep talk on how to get back up after being knocked down by life's latest challenge. This is a positive listening experience for anyone who is at a loss as to how to make meaning in life or where to start with activism. M.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
