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.
