Representaion Concering Books Rising Strong
The physics of vulnerability is simple: If we are brave enough often enough, we will fall. The author of Daring Greatly and The Gifts of Imperfection tells us 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, Brené Brown writes, can be our greatest call to courage, and rising strong our clearest path to deeper meaning, wisdom, and hope.Itemize Books As Rising Strong

I didnt finish the book. I made it as far as only chapter 3 or 4. It was exceedingly grating and I just couldnt choke down anymore. Its not a fault of Ms. Browns that shes privileged and successful, but when reaching for examples of hardships and struggles to illustrate her books thesis that the darkness is a necessary, if silent and shadow part of a journey to resiliency, the examples she serves up reek of a white, rich life in a bubble. It seems it has been a long time since she trulyThis is the first book of Brene Brown's that I have read. Perhaps that is why her style did not resonate with me as it has with so many other readers. While I did find some chapters more compelling than others, I felt there was too much of the author herself in the book. I was hoping to be inspired, and was encouraged by all the positive reviews, but for me, this book missed the mark.
I can't help but feel that she should have just written an article on this theme. The book is mainly filler, boring anecdotes, references to other, better works. I don't like her writing style and speed-read this because I disliked it so much. Not sure I will give this writer another chance. And what she wrote about how "serial killers and terrorists are doing the best they can" must be the most idiotic statement of all time. Then in the same section she denounces treating criminals like animals
I'm sure this book would've been impactful no matter when I read/listened to it, but MAN does it feel incredibly appropriate right now.
January 2020 I read Rising Strong for the first time in 2019 and I was blown away but home much the book and the teachings resonated with me. I think for the entire 2019 I made a conscious decision to be more vulnerable and live wholeheartedly and for the most part it worked. This time around what really resonated with me was how the story I tell myself when things happen. I liked that Brene Brown really focused on this because it is something I battle with a lot and I liked having the tools to
A good non-fiction book infuses detailed stories and vignettes and links them to the main points and research in the text. I thought that the main points in this book were extremely interesting. I loved the topics of research that she discussed: resiliency and mindfulness especially, and also her focus on the importance of re-framing our initial emotional responses to aversive events. However, my main critique of the book is that I didn't like the stories and vignettes that she gave as examples
When I read a self-help book, I realize not all of it will apply to me or I will take what I need at that moment. This book is no different BUT I took a lot of notes. It was intriguing and interesting. The book is full of stories to help the reader see the point Brene is trying to make. I used some of her ideas the next day and honestly felt better about my day and communication with the people around me. I grew up in a home that did not deal with emotions nor did we talk about hard things at
