Rising strong : the reckoning. the rumble. the revolution

Summary: For the legions of fans of the bestsellers "Daring Greatly" and "The Gifts of Imperfection" and her landmark TED talk on vulnerability and shame, comes the next step in the groundbreaking social research of the brilliant and electrifying thought leader Bren B̌rown. Her new book teaches us how to chart a course toward a life defined by everyday acts of courage. Bren ȟas changed the cultural conversation and her work has been been embraced by Oprah Winfrey and corporate leaders alike making her a highly sought-after public speaker. For Brene, the conversation about vulnerability and shame naturally evolves into a discussion of bravery - its origins, its catalysts, its chemistry. How we are brave. What constitutes bravery. What activates the impulse to be brave. And how to recognize where our own "hero's journey" begins - in the depths of failure, disappointment, heartbreak, and grief - and how, once we grapple with our story, we are able to rise from those depths and determine how that story will end.
