#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - When we deny our stories, they define us.
Bren empowers us each to be a little more courageous.--The Huffington Post. . . .
ONE OF GREATER GOOD\'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR Bren Brown\'s] research and work have given us a new vocabulary, a way to talk with each other about the ideas and feelings and fears we\'ve all had but haven\'t quite known how to articulate.
It\'s the process, Brown writes, that teaches us the most about who we are.
Rising strong after a fall is how we cultivate wholeheartedness.
Regardless of magnitude or circumstance, the Rising strong process is the same: We reckon with our emotions and get curious about what we\'re feeling; we rumble with our stories until we get to a place of truth; and we live this process, every day, until it becomes a practice and creates nothing short of a revolution in our lives.
Our stories of struggle can be big ones, like the loss of a job or the end of a relationship, or smaller ones, like a conflict with a friend or colleague.
But the process of regaining our footing in the midst of struggle is where our courage is tested and our values are forged.
Walking into our stories of hurt can feel dangerous.

As a grounded theory researcher, Brown has listened as a range of people--from leaders in Fortune 500 companies and the military to artists, couples in long-term relationships, teachers, and parents--shared their stories of being brave, falling, and getting back up.
It is the rise from falling that Brown takes as her subject in Rising Strong.
But living a brave life is not always easy: We are, inevitably, going to stumble and fall.
Her pioneering work uncovered a profound truth: Vulnerability--the willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of outcome--is the only path to more love, belonging, creativity, and joy.
Don\'t miss the hourlong Netflix special Bren Brown: The Call to Courage Social scientist Bren Brown has ignited a global conversation on courage, vulnerability, shame, and worthiness.
