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. THE No.1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICK`Thanks to Bren� Brown I learned how to be vulnerable . a life changer' Miranda Hart, actor, comedian and bestselling author of I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You`An important thought leader of our times . a deeply inspiring book' Red magazine`True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are.'Social scientist Bren� 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.

Leonard, United States Air Force`Bren� has profoundly inspired our product leaders to design in and embrace vulnerability, rather than engineer it out' Danielle Krettek, founder, Google Empathy Lab`The master of hope' Metro
