Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice

By: Brené Brown PhD LMSW

Narrated by: Brené Brown PhD LMSW

With her previous best sellers, Dr. Brené Brown helped us realize that vulnerability is the birthplace for trust, belonging, joy, creativity, and love. Yet a willingness to be vulnerable means accepting that life will sometimes knock us down. Where do we find the strength to get back up? In her research for her breakthrough book Rising Strong, Brené discovered a key factor. "Without exception," she says, "the concept of spirituality emerged from the data as a critical component of overcoming struggle."

In Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice, Brené offers an in-depth exploration of this critical and oft-misunderstood aspect of wholehearted living. Here she defines spirituality as something not reliant on religion, theology, or dogma - rather, it is a belief in our interconnectedness and in a loving force greater than ourselves. Whether you access the sacred through traditional worship, solitary meditation, communion with nature, or creative pursuits, one thing is clear: Rising strong after falling is a spiritual practice that brings a sense of perspective, meaning, and purpose to our lives.

Thought provoking

Great book and wonderful to hear the author. I highly recommend it. She provides a lot to think about.

Great, but more extrapolation

Thank you, Brent. The "take-aways" are excellent, and I will re-listen to your works, not just this piece, and put the"take-aways" at the forefront of my journal; I will strive to apply them from here on. My only question on your presentations is what outcomes might I expect and what might I have to do if things do not work out in the more positive: i.e., your example are very personal. Sometimes I wanted more extrapolation; a second example, using something like "for instance." seg
