Review An Amazon Best Book of August 2015: You may be someone wholooks at Rising Strong and says, oh, thats not really for me. Translation:I dont read or need that self-help stuff, give me a good novel and go away.But Bren Brown isnt a spiritual guru, or someone whos risen from the ashesto tell us how to live our lives. Shes a researcher. And Rising Strong isntsome feel-good-get-over-it regimen; its more investigative reporting on thecommon denominators of people who whole-heartedly get back up and go anotherround after getting their asses handed to them in big and small ways. In herstraightforward Texan voice, Brown sets the table for us to get curious aboutlifes sticky moments and invites us to serve ourselves a plate of what sheslearned in over a decade of research. I dont know about you, but Im nottrying to be famous or come up with a cure that will change the world, I justwant to live happily and keep getting back in the arena whether Ive beenrocked on my heels, knocked to my knees, or gone face down in the dirt. For mymoney, seeing how I can do that better is worth reading about. Seira WilsonRead more Review “A mind-blowing, life-changing read gets to the heart oflife” Read more See all Editorial Reviews
