2.5 Stars
I have loved Brené Brown’s previous work, but this read like quite literally reading the dictionary. I think where Brené shines most is her ability to put research surrounding complicated emotions and concepts into everyday language so that the reader can digest and use the information to impact their own life. While there were bits and pieces of that classic style in this book, the majority felt like a textbook rehashing of concepts covered in previous works. This would not be a book I would recommend to anyone interested in reading Brené Brown’s typically insightful work. However, on a positive note the hard copy book is beautiful.

“Because we can feel belonging only if we have the courage to share our most authentic selves with people, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.”
Wow! Just wow. This is a phenomenal detailing of the range of the human emotional experience. I have already recommended this book to a dozen people and bought two supplemental materials. I will be returning to this book again and again.
