Random House presents the audiobook edition of Rising Strong, written and read by Brené Brown. The physics of vulnerability is simple: if we are brave enough often enough, we will fall. This is a book about what it takes to get back up and how owning our stories of disappointment, failure and heartbreak gives us the power to write a daring new ending. Struggle can be our greatest call to courage and Rising Strong our clearest path to deeper meaning, wisdom and hope.

Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas and developing that potential. This is an audiobook for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead. When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it and work to align authority and accountability.

This was the voice she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions and social conditioning. Glennon decided to let go of the world’s expectations of her and reclaim her true untamed self.

Emotions are a huge part of who we are, and few people can understand and control them. Today, in a world full of distractions, people don't pay enough attention to them. After all, being in charge of emotions allows you to have better control of your life. This is a great achievement which is not easy to reach, but it is worth striving for. You can't change the circumstances that happen to you, but you can control the way you choose to respond to it.

The gap between what it's really like to be a woman and what people expect women to be is a primary cause of burnout, because we exhaust ourselves trying to close the space between the two. How can you 'love your body' when everything around you tells you you're inadequate? How do you 'lean in' at work when you're already giving 110 percent and aren't recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a world that is constantly telling you you're too fat, too needy, too noisy and too selfish?

The modern world is full of change and upheaval. However, in this inspirational audiobook, Louise Hay reveals that true changes come from within.

You'll see how Louise's penetrating insights from decades ago are still just as relevant today.

Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Now on Netflix as The Call to Courage
Every time we are introduced to someone new, try to be creative, or start a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight those feelings - we strive to appear perfect.
In a powerful new vision Dr Brené Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - from revealing our true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.
Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of groundbreaking social research, across every area of our lives including home, relationships, work and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees.
This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.

If you're struggling, read this book!
I read this book after it was recommended to me by my boss shortly after breaking down in front of him. This is a really inspiring book to understand how being vulnerable can be positive, and shouldn't be something you're afraid of. Brené narrates the story with great passion.

This hits home!
I absolutely loved Brené Brown reading her book Daring Greatly! Why? Because it spoke directly into my heart and mind giving me the tools to live a braver life. I am no pussy cat by any stretch of the imagination but this book together with Rising Strong has transformed my way of thinking and being (I was going to say acting, but it’s not an act anymore) for the better. As I implement the principles from these books on a day to day basis my life feels richer and I feel like I’m becoming a truer version on myself. Thank God for Brené Brown!

Thank you for helping me to dare myself!
A wonderful insight in understanding really raw moments of weakness and failures in life.
This book and the Netflix show about this book really gave me courage at times when doors were slammed in my face!
It gave me courage to continue, to move forward by taking the next step when broken, regardless of what happened and to perceive the situation more positively and to be wholeheartedly brave!
Also this is a book that parents must reflect upon.
Thank you Brene!

Loved the Ted Talk , loathed the book
Absolutely loved Brené Brown’s Ted Talk and looked forward to more of the same from the audible book. What a disappointment. I get what she’s trying to say about shame and vulnerability but this just seemed to be lots of spurious facts and figures about how shame is the new Oedipus complex mixed with mundane anecdotes from her life. Combined with Brown’s nasalised twang and the compulsory inclusion of the ‘s’ word at least once in every sentence, I found the book almost unlistenable to. I just had to give up.
If you want to read a book that might really help give you a new perspective on life, give this a miss and try Edith Eger’s ‘The Choice’. Eger’s book is an example of how to write an intelligent and completely engaging psychology self-help book.

Author is too focused on herself
Author complains about narcissism and how people are too focused on themselves. However, she talks mostly about herself, achievements and her YouTube ted talk sensation. 3 chapters in and couldn’t not bear listening to the recurring “me” and “I”. This isn’t about you Brené!

This was a mind-blowing listen chock-full of earth shatteringly sensible wisdom. It has just the right balance of anecdotes and practical advice. Brené is a natural at stringing together data revealed by research in the most appealing and simplified way with a touch of poetry. The best part is that it applies to everybody in all areas of life.

Brene is a researcher meaning that all of her work is, well, researched and corroberated by great deals of evidence. Brene is quite obviously passionate about her work on vulnerability diving into topocs such as love, belonging, connection, living whole heartedly providing great insight and advice for business leaders, teachers and parents. This is a solid manifesto that should be in the library shelves of any person wishing to be the most they can be in life, for themselves and for others. Are you ready to dare greatly? Either way, this book is for you. "Right on dude", great work Brene, I am now off to dare greatly in my life!
