An important new book that challenges everything we think we know about cultivating true belonging in our communities, organizations, and culture. Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives - experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame, and empathy. In "Braving the Wilderness," Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increasing polarization.
Through her characteristic blend of research, storytelling, and honesty, Brown will once again change the cultural conversation, charting a clear path to true belonging. She argues that what we are experiencing today is a spiritual crisis of disconnection and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and one another. She writes, ‘True belonging requires us to believe in and belong to ourselves so fully that we can find sacredness both in being a part of something and in standing alone when necessary.’
Brown offers the clarity and courage we need to find our way back to ourselves and to each other, with that path taking us directly through the wilderness. She writes, ‘The wilderness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, as sought after as it is feared. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it's the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.’
