But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it's the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.In Chapter 1, Brown provides personal background for her research on true belonging.
It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. Brown writes, "The wilderness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. And that path cuts right through the wilderness. It's a personal commitment that we carry in our hearts." Brown offers us the clarity and courage we need to find our way back to ourselves and to each other.
But true belonging is not something we negotiate or accomplish with others it's a daily practice that demands integrity and authenticity. But in a culture that's rife with perfectionism and pleasing, and with the erosion of civility, it's easy to stay quiet, hide in our ideological bunkers, or fit in rather than show up as our true selves and brave the wilderness of uncertainty and criticism. She writes, "True belonging requires us to believe in and belong to ourselves so fully that we can find sacredness both in being a part of something and in standing alone when necessary. Brown argues that we're experiencing a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other. With her trademark mix of research, storytelling, and honesty, Brown will again change the cultural conversation while mapping a clear path to true belonging. In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarization. It requires us to be who we are." Social scientist Bren Brown, PhD, LMSW, has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives-experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame, and empathy.
