In Braving the Wilderness Brené Brown gives us research and stories about true belonging and courage. These are great topics anytime but especially in these times of intense polarization. 

Brown’s writing style in this book seems like a transcript of her speaking (including cursing). At first it caught me off guard but seems on brand and appropriate for the topic. I trust her research and like her style. 

Many of the lessons included were powerful and Brown gives easy phrases that offer clear action steps. She provides stories from celebrities and her own life. I wept reading about the experiences of collective joy and pain. This is the book for Brown fans and anyone looking for ideas to deepen connection in families and communities.
