Summary

A powerful new book from Brené Brown， the international bestselling author of Daring Greatly， on how to have the courage to embrace fear， failure and vulnerability to create a life you love。

The physics of vulnerability is simple: If we are brave enough often enough， we will fall。 This is a book about 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。 Struggle can be our greatest call to courage and rising strong， our clearest path to deeper meaning， wisdom and hope。

Catríona ，

So hard， so helpful， essential reading for everyone！

I was determined to give this book the benefit of the doubt， but an endless recounting of the （extremely privileged） problems of the author and her friends used to illustrate kindergarten-level emotional intelligence principles which are then framed as revolutionary psychological discovery finally broke me。 The marketing is misleading; this is absolutely not a book about post-traumatic growth （which， though that term is never used， is very much the implication） but rather a series of stories fro I was determined to give this book the benefit of the doubt， but an endless recounting of the （extremely privileged） problems of the author and her friends used to illustrate kindergarten-level emotional intelligence principles which are then framed as revolutionary psychological discovery finally broke me。 The marketing is misleading; this is absolutely not a book about post-traumatic growth （which， though that term is never used， is very much the implication） but rather a series of stories from the author’s life punctuated with supposedly profound insights like， it's a good idea to calm down and recognize your own feelings before yelling at your spouse when they seem insensitive。 This is a book that could have been an email。 Just the reminder “Don’t ignore your emotions！” would have covered it。 Finally， I found the way the author used the stories of her encounters with homeless people and the discomfort SHE felt in those situations as a prop for her personal growth。。。。 disturbing。 Previous to this point in the book I was merely bored， and slightly annoyed by that， now I think I'm done with the author。Also， if I ever have to hear the word “rumble” again。。。 。。。more

Wow， just wow。 This book might be my favorite so far of Brene’s （though it’s only my third）。 There is nothing preachy about the way she writes。 I think the personal anecdotes she includes make her relatable and human。 This will definitely be a book that I come back to and get something different out of each time！

Nicole Stanton ，

Rising Strong is powerful。 I love how Brene breaks it down and goes over how to get back up after a setback。 I've heard so many times in my life you， “ just have to move on。” How？ Brene gives you the how。 I think Brene’s work is important。 She is helping so many people with her research。 Rising Strong is powerful。 I love how Brene breaks it down and goes over how to get back up after a setback。 I've heard so many times in my life you， “ just have to move on。” How？ Brene gives you the how。 I think Brene’s work is important。 She is helping so many people with her research。 。。。more

I really should give up on this writer。 I don’t like her books at all。 She’s so obsessed with her own -maybe made up-problems。 Maybe if the reader shares the same problems， the book would be useful。 I don’t know much。 Not the case for me。 Pfff！

Angelino ，

I love Brene Brown but I found this one too repetitive。 One chapter could have said it all。 Was excited because I love the idea of getting up after a fall and what you can learn in the process。 Daring Greatly is probably all I need。

Sara Ball ，

Fabulous continuation of Brené’s research and theories。 Her practical applications are simple and applicable to everyday relationships

Ellen Riggenbach ，

Another book to be grateful for。 The same message and stories of vulnerability， shame， and courage that Brené researches and shares so well。 Yet to a new tune that helps living into the wholehearted way。 The manifesto of the brave and broken-hearted spoke volumes to me。 « Showing up is our power。 - Story is our home。 - Truth is our song。 »

Caitlin ，

I did not finish this book。 I simply did not want to。 In fact I removed my holds on all of her other books

Michelle ，

I love Brené Brown。 This felt like a useful way to self-examine your feelings of shame。 I plan on using her strategies in my own life。 I look forward to reading more of her books in the future。

Rising Strong by Brené BrownIn Rising Strong Brené Brown unpacks the process of analyzing emotion and how to use it as a tool to pick yourself back up after failure and affliction。 Brown asks her readers to challenge themselves by being vulnerable and accepting uncomfortable truths about themselves and their thought processes。 What makes this book a win for me is that she leads by example。 Multiple times throughout the book Brown aggressively details her past emotional struggles。 She does not sh Rising Strong by Brené BrownIn Rising Strong Brené Brown unpacks the process of analyzing emotion and how to use it as a tool to pick yourself back up after failure and affliction。 Brown asks her readers to challenge themselves by being vulnerable and accepting uncomfortable truths about themselves and their thought processes。 What makes this book a win for me is that she leads by example。 Multiple times throughout the book Brown aggressively details her past emotional struggles。 She does not shy away from talking about the ugly thoughts that she had to confront to get to a healthy mindset。 Favorite Quote: “The most dangerous stories we make up are the narratives that diminish our inherent worthiness。 We must reclaim the truth about our lovability， divinity， and creativity。”My Top Take-Aways:- We frequently tell ourselves incorrect stories about our situations that fuel our insecurities。 Brown talks about this in detail。 She explains that learning to identify those false narratives is key to healthy communication and overcoming adversity （see quote above）。 - Generally speaking， people are doing the very best they can with the tools they have。- Creating boundaries for yourself helps to prevent the development of resentment。 - You cannot skip the uncomfortable middle that lies in every creative process。- Stop evaluating people based off your expectations of them。 Start appreciating them for the person they already are。 Read if: Regardless of your comfort level with personal emotional engagement， I think everyone can take something away from the ideas in Rising strong。 Writing & Editing: 4Personal Bias: 5Final Score: 4。5 。。。more

The content is awesome！ I wish the language was cleaner though

Maria Raquel ，

Funny and relaxing， she is smart and witty

La Push， baby。 It‘s La Push。 ，

[Als Blink gelesen & gehört]Im Grunde genommen beschreibt sie was es bedeutet ein selbstreflektierender Mensch zu sein， nur stellt sie das Konzept unter anderen Begriffen vor。 Ich fand’s sehr langweilig。 Wer Selbstreflexion schon anwenden kann braucht das nicht zu lesen。

SS ，

It does have some snippets of good advice， but as another reviewer said Brene's experiences and counselling support for her experiences may not translate to your experiences and there seemed to be a heavy amount of Brene's stories and solutions than others take when tackling this。 Having said that they if you have similar experiences to Brene it will resonate。 It does have some snippets of good advice， but as another reviewer said Brene's experiences and counselling support for her experiences may not translate to your experiences and there seemed to be a heavy amount of Brene's stories and solutions than others take when tackling this。 Having said that they if you have similar experiences to Brene it will resonate。 。。。more

What is your story？How does that affect others？Honesty is hard。

I am not sure if I can stop saying how much Brene Brown has benefited me。 This book is no less good that the others I have read。 This quote jumped out to me this morning。 "In the absence of data， we will always make up stories。 It’s how we are wired。 In fact， the need to make up a story， especially when we are hurt， is part of our most primitive survival wiring。 Meaning making is in our biology， and our default is often to come up with a story that makes sense， feels familiar， and offers us insi I am not sure if I can stop saying how much Brene Brown has benefited me。 This book is no less good that the others I have read。 This quote jumped out to me this morning。 "In the absence of data， we will always make up stories。 It’s how we are wired。 In fact， the need to make up a story， especially when we are hurt， is part of our most primitive survival wiring。 Meaning making is in our biology， and our default is often to come up with a story that makes sense， feels familiar， and offers us insight into how to self-protect。 What we’re trying to do in the rumble --choosing to feel uncertain and vulnerable as we rumble with the truth-- is a conscious choice。 A brave， conscious choice。 Robert Burton， a neurologist and novelist， explains that our brains reward us with dopamine when we recognize and complete patterns。 Stories are patterns。 The brain recognizes the familiar beginning-middle-end structure of a story and rewards us for clearing up ambiguity。 Unfortunately， we don’t need to be accurate， just certain。"（“Rising Strong” by Brené Brown p 79） 。。。more

Brene Brown has a brilliant mind！

Erin Weigel ，

Confronting， honest， and laugh out loud funny at times。 Had my highlighter in hand for all the important thoughts to linger on as I deal with my own “rumble”。 100% recommend this book to anyone hoping to learn more about themselves and how they show up in the world。

Angela Schlater ，

I bookmarked so many pages in this one。 A lot of good resources for work teams， families， and communities。

Madilyn Warner ，

A must read！ Very moving。 Very valuable。 Research based guidance on how to handle vulnerability and shame…。。 we all need it！ It’s on my to-be-reread list :，）

Nancy Boyd ，

Life Changing。 This book took awhile for me to get through because I had to set it down every chapter （or sometimes sooner） to really mull over what was being said。 Everyone should read this book， no matter your gender， walk of life， or trauma level。 I definitely have a long way to go in this process， but this book has helped me begin in a way I never thought I could。

Diane Dreher ，

Important book for these times--how to face adversity and rise stronger。

emyrose8 ，

Good stuff in here。 The most useful thing for me is “the story I’m making up is。。。”Note- swearing

Julia Hunter ，

I will always give Brene 5 stars because she makes me really look at myself。 She is incredible！！ This is about how to examine our “failures” and why that is so important in how to grow。 Always enjoy her

Alisha Hartman ，

Listened to it as an audiobook。 Was very motivational and encouraging。

Amber Victoria Finlay ，

Just like Untamed， I was constantly taking pictures of quotes I didn’t want to forget。 It took me years， but I finally understand why Brene is so popular！ Biggest takeaways: （1） vulnerability takes courage but leads to connection， & （2） everyone is doing the best they can！

Sarah ，

I love how Brené writes。 I can relate to her thinking and feelings。 Her findings make sense to me and they are often inspiring。 I've read a couple of her books。 I know they build on each other and help expand the shame and fear topic and how we turn that fear into growth and courage。 At moments I felt like I was reading the same book。 Overall I enjoyed it， and gave me food for thought。 I love how Brené writes。 I can relate to her thinking and feelings。 Her findings make sense to me and they are often inspiring。 I've read a couple of her books。 I know they build on each other and help expand the shame and fear topic and how we turn that fear into growth and courage。 At moments I felt like I was reading the same book。 Overall I enjoyed it， and gave me food for thought。 。。。more
