Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Braving the Wilderness, written and read by Brené Brown.
'True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are.' Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives - experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarisation. With her trademark mix of research, storytelling and honesty, Brown will again change the cultural conversation while mapping out a clear path to true belonging.
Brown argues that what we're experiencing today is a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other. She writes, 'True belonging requires us to believe in and belong to ourselves so fully that we can find sacredness both in both being a part of something, and in standing alone when necessary. But in a culture that's rife with perfectionism and pleasing, and with the erosion of civility, it'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's a daily practice that demands integrity and authenticity. It's a personal commitment that we carry in our hearts.' 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, 'The 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's the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.'

At the right time
I first listened to this book in Oct 2017, and I loved it then. At the time I was starting out my own spiritual journey, and learning to 'brave the wilderness'. In 2017 it helped me take a leap of faith that has allowed me now to create the life I always wanted.
Now in 2020 I was called to stand in the Wilderness again, alone. This book reminded me of how to do this and how although the price is high the reward is great. I learned this in 2017!!
It is great book, with so much insight. I always find Brene Brown's work inspiring and life altering. This is no different. Highly recommended.

Belonging No Place
For someone who's struggled with the sense of not belonging, this book was a revalation, but I think its a book I will have to go back through to be able to put into practice braving the wilderness.
It's well present by the author Brené and I am certainly interested to listened to more of her research.

This Book Touched Me In All The Right Places....
Again, Brené Brown has done it to me and all of a sudden I find myself in tears. This book resonated with me so strongly that I found myself stopping up on many ocasiones throughout the book and thinking through certain situations in my life. Being in 'The Wilderness'; I've experienced that gnawing feeling of not belonging, so this book needed to be written for my sake if no one else's. Great book. Buy it. Listen to it.
