Praise for Brené Brown’s Rising Strong
“[Brown’s] research and work have given us a new vocabulary, a way
to talk with each other about the ideas and feelings and fears
we’ve all had but haven’t quite known how to articulate. . . .
[She] empowers us each to be a little more courageous.”—The
Huffington Post
“It is inevitable—we will fall. We will fail. We will not know how
to react or what to do. No matter how or when it happens, we will
all have a choice—do we get up or not? Thankfully, Brené Brown is
there with an outstretched arm to help us up.”—Simon Sinek, author
of Start with Why and Leaders Eat Last
“With a fresh perspective that marries research and humor, Brown
offers compassion while delivering thought-provoking ideas about
relationships—with others and with oneself.”—Publishers Weekly
