REESE'S CHOICE BOOK CLUB
"We don't have to alter who we are in order to really belong. It demands us to be authentic." A worldwide dialogue on the experiences that give our life purpose has been initiated by social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW. These experiences include those of bravery, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame, and empathy. In an era of growing polarisation, Brown redefines in Braving the Wilderness what it means to fully belong. Brown, known for her unique blend of scholarship, storytelling, and candour, will once again transform cultural discourse and provide a clear route to genuine belonging.
In support of his claim that we are living in a spiritual disconnection crisis, Brown offers four genuine belonging practises that go against everything we take for granted about one another and ourselves. As she puts it, "Being a part of something and, when needed, standing by ourselves are both sacred acts that we must believe in and fully belong to in order to truly belong." But it's easier to keep silent, hide in our ideological bunkers, or fit in rather than show up as our genuine selves and face the desert of doubt and criticism in a society that is riddled with pleasing and perfectionism, as well as the loss of civility. However, genuine belonging is a daily practise that requires honesty and sincerity; it's not something we negotiate or achieve with others. We hold this as a deep personal commitment in our hearts." Brown provides us with the bravery and clarity we need to rediscover who we are and who we are with one another. And that trail goes straight into the middle of nothing. "Wildness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching," says Brown. It is a location that is both gorgeous and perilous, as well as both sought-after and terrifying. However, it turns out to be the bravest and most revered position you will ever stand, and the location of genuine belonging."
