It requires us to be<\/i> who we are.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Social scientist Bren\u00c3\u00a9 Brown, PhD, LMSW, has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives\u00e2\u20ac\u201dexperiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame, and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness,<\/i> Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarization. With her trademark mix of research, storytelling, and honesty, Brown will again change the cultural conversation while mapping a clear path to true belonging.<\/p>\n Brown argues that we\u00e2\u20ac™re experiencing a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other. She writes, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153True 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. But in a culture that\u00e2\u20ac™s rife with perfectionism and pleasing, and with the erosion of civility, it\u00e2\u20ac™s easy to stay quiet, hide in our ideological bunkers, or fit in rather than show up as our true selves and brave the wilderness of uncertainty and criticism. But true belonging is not something we negotiate or accomplish with others; it\u00e2\u20ac™s a daily practice that demands integrity and authenticity. It\u00e2\u20ac™s a personal commitment that we carry in our hearts.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Brown offers us the clarity and courage we need to find our way back to ourselves and to each other. And that path cuts right through the wilderness. Brown writes, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The wilderness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it\u00e2\u20ac™s the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n Praise for Bren\u00c3\u00a9 Brown\u00e2\u20ac™s Rising Strong<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153[Brown\u00e2\u20ac™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\u00e2\u20ac™ve all had but haven\u00e2\u20ac™t quite known how to articulate. . . .
