![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Brené's books seem to largely be about our individual struggles and offer variations of how to become more confident and happy through being our 'selves'. When I began reading Braving the Wilderness, I was expecting it to be more personal like The Gifts of Imperfection - which I loved. "You are only free when you realise you belong no place - you belong every place - no place at all. The subtitle of this book is "The quest for true belonging and the courage to stand alone." And it revolves around Brené's exploration and understanding of the quote: With over 35 million views it's one of the top 5 viewed TED talks ever. If you're not already familiar with Brené Brown, check out the TED Talk that made her famous here. Brené is also a great storyteller, and has wowed the world with her own peculiar mix of raw authenticity, honesty and strength - which she calls vulnerability. She researches emotions, motivation, the human condition - in particular, courage, shame and empathy. I have literally just finished reading this, and was excited to write a book review of Braving the Wilderness! I don't know about you but I am a Brené Brown fan. ![]()
