Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown
5.0
Braving the Wilderness felt like a breath of fresh air! Brene’s words resonated with me & reminded me that simply existing is an extraordinary thing. They helped me realize that I’d like to put far more energy into experiencing joy, living in the moment, and being compassionate towards myself and others… and a whole lot less towards feeling inadequate. This book also reiterated one of my most beloved affirmations — something that I first learned about from Glennon Doyle’s book ‘Untamed’ — We can be both brave and afraid!
My favorite quote from Braving the Wilderness: “Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, joy, trust, intimacy, and courage — everything that brings meaning to our life. An armored front sounds good when we’re hurting but causes us much more pain in the end. When we let people take our vulnerability or fill us with their hate, we turn over our entire life to them.”
