Description
True belonging is not about changing who we are, but about being who we are. In this thought-provoking book, Brené Brown explores the experiences that bring meaning to our lives, including courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame and empathy. Brown argues that we are living in a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and offers four practices of true belonging that challenge our understanding of ourselves and each other. True belonging requires us to believe in and belong to ourselves, so that we can find sacredness in both being part of something and standing alone when necessary. In a culture that values perfectionism and pleasing, it's easy to hide in our ideological bunkers or fit in rather than showing up as our true selves. Brown's book offers the clarity and courage we need to find our way back to ourselves and to each other. By embracing true belonging, we can create a more authentic and empathetic culture, where we can find our place in the world and connect with others on a deeper level.
