Insecurities, inadequacies, self-doubt; we all have them, and never more so than in this age of media saturation and technical voyeurism. Enter Bunny Michael, an interdisciplinary artist and podcast host whose work picks up where Alex Elle, Brené Brown, and Julia Cameron leave off.
Bunny knows what it is firsthand to be an outsider: from trying to find their footing in an art world dictated by social media followers, to coming to terms with their queer identity, to dealing with the societal traumas they’ve inherited as a person of color in a society that privileges whiteness. It was at a real low point that Bunny first got in touch with their higher self—and ever since has been helping their followers do the same through their art and inspiring Instagram presence.
Building from Bunny’s viral memes, Hello, Higher Self Is a self-care manifesto, calling on readers to radically shift their perspectives from the Learned Hierarchal Beliefs (LHBs) we’ve all internalized to the self-acceptance we were born into, aka our Higher Selves. This book shines a light into eighteen areas of life where LHBs often lurk—from creativity, to work, to relationships, to race, to sexual pleasure. Bunny’s mix of meditative advice, written exercises, and personal examples make for a jaw-dropping read.
“Hello Higher Self offers the dose of radical self-compassion we all need and serves as a potent reminder that we are enough. Bunny Michael offers us a powerful invitation to dismantle the harmful beliefs society imposes on us and embrace our true and lasting worth. This is a must read.” —Yung Pueblo, New York Times bestselling author of Inward, Clarity & Connection, and The Way Forward

“Hello, Higher Self is the book I wished I'd had my whole life. Bunny opens up a whole new world—one in which we can all too clearly see the ways in which we have been conditioned to hate, fear, and shame ourselves and each other. Knowing that they can't leave us here, Bunny offers roadmaps for how we can move back towards love, compassion, and care—towards creating the kind of world that we've always deserved. Hello, Higher Self is a gift to us all.”Writer and educator Margeaux Feldman of @softcoretrauma
