Rising Strong
by Brené Brown
What this book is about
Rising Strong focuses on the period after disappointment, conflict, failure, or emotional exposure. Brené Brown encourages readers to notice the story they are telling about what happened, become curious about emotion, and revise assumptions in light of fuller information. The book frames resilience as a process of returning to experience rather than avoiding risk altogether. Its reflective structure can help readers examine setbacks with more compassion, accountability, and willingness to try again.
About the author
Brené Brown is a social-work researcher, professor, speaker, and author. Her work focuses on courage, shame, empathy, belonging, and vulnerability. She often combines research findings with personal stories and reflective exercises. Rising Strong extends that work by concentrating on how people interpret setbacks and return to meaningful action after disappointment or failure.
Kristin says
Rising Strong is about how to get back up and try again. In trying again, we live life to the fullest—and yes, that means daring greatly.
