Rising Strong

"The physics of vulnerability is simple: If we are brave enough often enough, we will fall. The author ... tells us what it takes to get back up, and how owning our stories of disappointment, failure, and heartbreak gives us the power to write a daring new ending"--

Description

Rising Strong by Brené Brown delves into the intricate journey of overcoming adversity and finding strength in vulnerability. Through a blend of research, storytelling, and personal insight, Brown explores the emotional journey that individuals undertake when they choose to confront their setbacks and emerge stronger from the experience. The narrative weaves a tapestry of real-life examples, drawing from a diverse array of individuals, including leaders, artists, educators, and everyday people, who have encountered failure and have found the courage to rise from it.

Brown's central thesis centres around the idea that confronting our unfavorable experiences—acknowledging them rather than ignoring—is not merely necessary but transformative. The author introduces a three-step process known as the rising strong process. First, one must reckon with their emotions, allowing a space for honest questioning and curiosity. Next, they must rumble with their stories, challenging their assumptions and beliefs to uncover the truth. Finally, the transformation becomes evident when this process becomes a practice, leading us to a more wholehearted and fulfilling life.

This deeply insightful work provides compelling evidence that shows how embracing vulnerability and learning from our own falls cultivate resilience and bravery. Brown has a unique ability to connect with her audience, providing them with a new language to discuss fears, failings, and the discomfort often associated with vulnerability. By blending grounded theory with humanity and understanding, Brené Brown empowers readers to examine their own stories and courageously engage with the world around them.

A reader favourite and a topic of discussion across different platforms, Rising Strong is more than just a bestseller. It is a guide for anyone looking to rewrite their narrative, move beyond the limitations of fear and uncertainty, and awaken to a life rich in authenticity and strength. Brené Brown's work has been featured in a five-part Max docuseries, Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart, which testifies to the ongoing, far-reaching impact of her pioneering research.

Praised as one of the year's best by Greater Good, the book continues to spark meaningful conversations. As mentioned by The Huffington Post, Brown's contributions have provided "a new vocabulary, a way to talk with each other about the ideas and feelings and fears we've all had but haven't quite known how to articulate. . . Brené empowers us each to be a little more courageous." Embrace the call to rise strong with this enlightening and empowering read.
