'Thanks to Brene Brown I learned how to be vulnerable... a life changer' Miranda Hart

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.

Amazing...

Reviewed in Australia on 15 June 2018

Verified Purchase

Brene is amazing. I watch her TED talks and am totally inspired. Brene Brown speaks & writes easily and freely and explains emotions really well. She so eloquently looks at the ways in which fear and shame might be keeping you stuck. She lives the changes and her stories are so real and relatable. I think she explains the path to courage and freedom so very well.

A few months after reading the book I picked it back up and re-read some meaningful chapters - Inspiring, funny and real, her books are time well invested in my wellbeing.

Encouraging and Inspiring Change

Reviewed in Australia on 8 September 2018

Verified Purchase

Occasionally a book that is recommended to me is what it is said to be. Bene Brown talks real, providing informative antidotes to keep the reader engaged and encouraged to get started on improving their life experience.
Brene bravely and bluntly talks about the things not spoken, while sharing great knowledge for others to gain insight so that they can address the real narrative inside their head and being vulnerable enough to own it, speak it and change it.
With the research presented by Brene, I am inspired to recommend Rising Strong to some of my Clients to read, and then work through thogether in therapy.

Worthy of my time

Reviewed in Australia on 24 December 2015

Verified Purchase

This book by @brenebrown frequently provoked me to stop, think and rewire my consideration of how I have responded to some seminal events in my past. Not for me to rewrite history but to rise stronger from the lessons that I now see in new terms. Thus changing the way I conceive of complexity, how I act in the moment, and who I take notice of in driving progress. A book replete with personal stories that bed down Professor Brown's thesis in concrete and touching moments to which we can all relate. With much competition for reading time, this book was well worth the investment. Thank you @brenebrown.

Brene'Brown is a wonderful, engaging writer and speaks the truth with kindness and compassion. Rising Strong shows us how to keep getting up when we fall, to learn from it, to reconnect with our loved ones and communities and to keep showing up and doing all over again with the learnings from the fall. The book provides clear guidelines for how we can do this in our own lives. I have learnt a lot from this book

Beautiful Wisdom at the right time

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 July 2017

Verified Purchase

I love this book. I think the timing has to be right for it to touch your heart. Tried reading it after a bereavement and it didn't reach me, picked it up again recently after some hard times at work and home, read it in a few days cover to cover. If it doesn't speak to you straight away, give it time, come back later. There is some beautiful wisdom here, backed up with great research. Have brought copies for my friends because I love it that much.

felt quite dense in places but well worth sticking with it.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2019

Verified Purchase

I've been reading Brene Brown's books out of sequence, but in a way I'm glad that I read "Dare to Lead" before this one. I first encountered The Power of Vulnerability (brilliant 6 x audio CD, I love the workshop format) and her 2-CD audio on Shame & Worthiness (studio recording, but a really good summation).

"Rising Strong" felt quite dense, even on audio. I love the sources and other research that she cites, and that she also quotes from the mainstream media - the balance of academic and 'pop culture' references still allows her to wear her knowledge relatively lightly.

Plus I admire her courage and self-compassion in sharing stories from her own experience and how she uses her journals. highly recommended, its the sort of thing you want to (mentally) digest in small pieces, like very rich and high-quality chocolate.

Thank you again, Brene - for caring enough to heroically put this (and your other work) out into the world, and for the wonderful support materials available on your website. You absolutely rock, lay-dee. Keep up the sterling work! :O)

Good but not that strong

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 April 2019

Verified Purchase

Despite the brilliance title, this book did not offer anything new to me. It is a long mix of philosophical, psychological and new age concepts. Nothing new that I haven’t read before. I got lost towards the middle and I felt disconnected. In my view the book is repetitive and could have been half the size. This is a good book, and I’m glad I bought it. However, it’s not up there on my book chart and definitely not one of my “desert island” books, I’m afraid.

We all fail from time-to-time and this is about us getting back up and not lashing out

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2020

Verified Purchase

In her book “Rising Strong”, Brene Brown, looks at failure, shame and regret. How can we get out “from under a rock” and how can we react to it without anger and all of the other feelings and reactions that our parents, our friends and our enemies have tried to push on us as behaviours.

We all fail and we all fall from time-to-time and this is about us getting back up and not lashing out, however it might make us feel better.

She also talks about how, so often we have a “story” in our heads that plays out and how this often ends in “tears”, either our own or somebody else’s. We are better than that, and dealing with the anger, the vulnerability the shame and regret is OK. We are all human and we all feel these things. A great book if you want to live a better life, without some preachy, do-gooder telling you, what to do. Brene is real and explains her own situations as examples.

Great at showing why boundaries are crucial to living wholeheartedly.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 April 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a great follow-up to Daring Greatly. The willingness of the author to use her own experiences to illustrate evidence gathered from thousands of interviews, is for me what makes it so relatable. The author does not claim to be perfect. She owns her own mistakes and a willingness to be “curious” about her feelings as she describes. This is the epitome of vulnerability and strength and it’s difficult not to be inspired. I love the SFD idea and the references to “sewer rats and scofflaws”; it was easy to recognise myself in judgement mode which led to bursts of laughter.

After listening to the audio book version of the talk, I had to get hold of the book. I am so pleased to have this as both a resource and a source of encouragement. Like her later work, Rising Strong seems more vulnerable, more engaged with social life today, and more enquiring. Written as ever in an accessible and down to earth style.

My desert island book.

I'm a big fan of Brene Brown. Through her books and TED talks she offers a vision of the world and a way into self help that has made a real difference to how I try and live my life. It feels like she's talking to me, and what she's saying is exactly what I need to hear. This book offers a different way of dealing with the challenges we face every day which is accessible, achievable, and life changing. Using examples from her own life, she shows us the way with courage, honesty and compassion. Everyone should read this book!

For lovers of Brené Brown's exceptional TEDX talk, here's the background to, and practical, application of the Brown magic. For those who often find that the hardest thing about business is people, this is an invaluable guide to getting on at work, and at home. The author's whole journey has been about honesty with herself. And she leads by example as teacher and writer.
