This is a follow up to Daring Greatly, and I loved this as much as the first. Some great analysis that continues the Daring Greatly conversation. Definitely some information I will circle back to in my hard copy and use toward my personal and professional growth.

Current BART #audiobook, and this month's #BookSpin.

If we are brave enough often enough, we will fall; this is the physics of vulnerability.

This is a really good book. It gives some helpful tools to help with every day life situations. This book will not solve all of your life‘s problems but it gives some good advice.

I didn‘t even remember putting this book on hold at the library and it arrive just as I needed it. I was struggling to understanding where a loved one was coming from. Listening helped me understand that control can also be an anxiety response. In addition to that so many great nuggets for my own personal growth, like the stories we all tell ourselves and how they should be our first drafts. Brilliant! Super short audio book and worth it.

Morning light on the patio with a reread of Rising Strong. It feels good to rumble with my story in such a lovely, peaceful setting. ♥️ Thinking of you, @LauraBeth

Cuilin I‘ve been listening to her talks and books on audio and doing some necessary rumblings myself. 4y
saresmoore @Cuilin It‘s such good stuff. I love the way she presents the material as descriptive rather than prescriptive. Have you listened to either of her podcasts? She did an interview with Sarah Lewis on Dare to Lead that was powerful. 4y
Cuilin I haven‘t checked out the podcast. Where will I find them? I have audible and Spotify. I‘m listening to Dare to Lead now. @saresmoore (edited) 4y

Engaging, thoughtful read. The examples of struggles are pretty tame, and Brown alludes to a difficult childhood which she doesn‘t actually talk about. (Which is a bit odd considering the foundation of her work is vulnerability.) BUT it doesn‘t make her overarching points less true. Def gave me a lot to think about.

wanderinglynn I haven‘t read any of her books, but I have read some of her articles. I may have to read one of her books. 4y

I love Brené with my whole entire heart, but she has written so much that I‘ve read in such a short amount of time and it‘s become really repetitive. So much so, I double checked my goodreads TWICE while reading this book that I hadn‘t already read this. However, her persistent narrative on vulnerability and bravery always finds a way to teach me something new, whether it‘s something about myself

sarahlandis (or how i feel about something) or a new perspective on how to approach difficult situations. I always find myself challenging MYSELF to process hard feelings because of her writing and I‘m thankful for that and her :)

Important to note: her perspective on regrets. We should strive to have regrets. Having regrets means you have the ability to look inward and challenge yourself to be better.

Snuggled up in bed reading with the sweetest kitty in the world, my Ladybug.
Ladybug was recently hit by a car in our court and had to have surgery to remove the femoral head of her leg bone (femur) after it was dislocated from the accident. She is recovering very well. Being only 2 years old and having had major surgery 18 months previous to this on her ear drum, I think this kitty is showing us exactly what rising strong looks like.

Four of my 5-star reads in 2019 are by author‘s telling stories from their own life. Although Rising Strong is not technically a memoir it is filled with meaningful life lessons from Brene Brown‘s personal experience with her own family. If only I could go back in time to apply her advice and preface my conflicts with, “The story I‘m telling myself”.

After first seeing her on Netflix recently, I reserved a couple of Brene Browns books at the library, and they've come in!
Having a squiz while the kids swim today...

I've just finished The Handmaid's Tale this morning so feeling a little lost and empty, I hope this fills the gap :)

marleed I listened to Rising Strong on overdrive through the library. The very day I finished I headed to the bookstore for my own brand new hardback physical copy. That is my requirement for the 5* review that I rarely give out! 5y
Curiouser_and_curiouser @marleed Wow, highly recommended then! Thank you. I did the same with the Anthony William books. I borrowed 3 of them from the library only got through 1.5, then ordered them all online when they were due back. Some books are just invaluable. I'm looking forward to this one, she seems like a fun person 5y

Finished Rising Strong today. First I‘ve read by Brené Brown. Found a lot of gems and inspiration. I would be interested in reading more of her work. Overlapped a lot with the class on Conflict Resolution I‘m taking right now.
.
Excited to get back into some fiction though!

Non-fiction is not my forte, and this book reminded me of that. However, the principles and research that Brené lays out in Rising Strong are invaluable. I see myself marinating on this book and possibly reading it again to see how I‘m applying her insight to my life.

“In fact, for most of us who rely on blaming and finding fault, the need for control is so strong that we‘d rather have something be our fault than succumb to the bumper-sticker wisdom of ‘shit happens.‘ If stuff just happens, how do I control that? Fault-finding fools us into believing that someone is always to blame, hence, controlling the outcome is possible. But blame is as corrosive as it is unproductive.” #somuchtruth

After a somewhat challenging week at work where I was placed in a situation that I wish I could have handled better and feeling defeated, I decided to pick this book up next. So far, so good.

In case ya‘ll didn‘t know- I fucking love a readathon.

And #25infive (its technically hosted on Instagram) is my favorite. Mostly because it‘s the only one I can feasibly finish.

So please see the books I wish to dabble in above.

*please note I said dabble as there‘s no way I finish this 800 page monster that is I am Pilgrim.

Melissa_J I Am Pilgrim reads very quickly. You may well be able to finish 😊 6y

I heart Brene so much! Listening to her on #audio is like having a conversation with a good friend. This book is all about being able to move on from things that don't go our way and keep going! Brene's research is always on point and her writing style is so approachable and relatable. She's always so easy to understand too

blurb

Rising Strong | Bren Brown

Brown believes that "people do their best" in terms of how they behave toward each other. Apparently, Brown has never actually left her house. Brown then follows this ridiculous statement by quoting her husband, who said, "Do I believe that people do their best? No. But I need to believe that they do." And that right there is why I don't read happy horseshit, self-help books. Something isn't true? Ignore it and pretend otherwise. No thank you.

This was actually Rising Strong As A Spiritual Practice, an Amazon original. Not so much a book as a talk. It expanded on Rising Strong with more examples.
