I read this at a much slower pace in comparison to Atlas... but that's due to my inability to pick up the book rather than turn on an audio while on the go (which I have been on the go A LOT lately.) Despite the slow pace, this book was a great read and full of information and techniques to help me sus out my emotions and connect why I feel the way I do when it comes to personal identity. Brown covers a lot regarding how people find a sense of belonging, and where that security comes from. It's really fascinating to learn how these feelings are connected, and I found a lot of information regarding shame, vulnerability, and bravery very enlightening (who knew they were so entertwined?) I really like how Brown mixes personal experience, research, and humor together, which makes her writing rather conversational. Again, if you have some inner work you'd like to do, I suggest starting with Brene Brown's work to start digging into your own personal thoughts and feelings.
Know who you are. How you are strong in your values and that you do not need to change that to feel part of group.

I really appreciated her discussion of how true belonging means belonging to yourself.

This book has many similarities with Valerie Kaur’s See No Stranger. So many great concepts in both that will make the world and the individual a much better to place/society. Thanks Brené for the research and the book.
I have read this book before, as soon as it came out after the disastrous US election of 2016, I found it immensely helpful to read Brené's wisdom especially around people who have wildly different views to us. During this strange time of lockdown, I listened to this book on my daily walks and found it no less profound and impactful. Again the messages around certainty and creating our own echo chambers resonated with me and how dehumanising is so toxic and unhelpful no matter which side is doing it. I also found the passages on conflict transformation rather than conflict resolution particularly relevant. It is also worth adding that I also find her voice and the way she talks very grounding, her no nonsense, honest approach really speaks to me.

Reese's Book Club Pick 39/65
When Brown started talking about how much she loves J.K. Rowling right out the gate, that should have been my clue to put this one down. But, since I want to read all of the Reese's Book Club picks, this had to be read. This book was some real white lady feminism. Like, I'm sorry you didn't make the dance team. Rejection and feeling like an outsider suck, but man if you're still dwelling on not being popular in high school as a full adult, I'm not sure what to tell you.
Nothing in this book was really shocking or new to me - and I've never read Brown's work before, so it's not a case of she hasn't added to her own work, it's a case of her having nothing to stay at all. Brown spent way too much time playing centrist - like yes it would be great to have civility between clashing groups, but when some people are actively cheering for genocide of other groups, maybe we don't need to be civil to them. I dunno. Just my take. Brown also really spends too much time (read: any) talking about J.K. Rowling and her work. When speaking about groups of people coming together spontaneously, you couldn't think of another example besides Harry Potter? Like damn just watch the internet for 10 minutes and some clickbait "THIS WILL MAKE YOU CRY" video will appear that will be a) a real-life example and b) hopefully not written by a problematic author.
Anyway, if you want to belong, start by being nice to people and not playing devil's advocate when it comes to people's lives and safety. Follow me for more tips on how to belong (jk I just write snarky book reviews).
