Braving the Wilderness

The quest for true belonging and the courage to stand alone

The inspiring guide to finding true belonging and the courage and confidence to stand alone from the bestselling author of Rising Strong, Daring Greatly and The Gifts of Imperfection.

‘True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are.’

Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives – experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame and empathy.

Now, in Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarisation.

Brown argues that what we're experiencing today is a spiritual crisis of disconnection and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other.

With her trademark mix of research, storytelling and honesty, Brown again changes the cultural conversation, offering us the clarity and courage to discover a clear path to true belonging in our communities, organisations and culture.

Thanks to Brené Brown I learned how to be vulnerable… a life changer
