About this item

With her previous bestsellers, Dr. Bren 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.

"Without exception," she says, "the concept of spirituality emerged from the data as a critical component of overcoming struggle." On Rising Strong As a Spiritual Practice, Bren 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.
