Summary

Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone Audiobook by Brené Brown is a book based on research and honest storytelling to promote wider conversations. The book is about belonging to yourself. The author discusses what is meant by belonging to yourself and provides the ideology of the divine self.

The author goes on to state the true belonging is believing in and belonging to oneself in such a deep manner that one can share their most authentic self with the world. True belonging is not changing from who one is, but it requires one to be who they really are. Brown touches on a longing and basic desire the humans share, which is even more pronounced in the individualistic society like the US- the need for belonging. Every individual craves to belong to something or to someone.

One of the most common issues identified in her research was the feeling of being spiritually disconnected and a diminishing sense of shared humanity. She says that people these days are bound and united by fear and disdain and not by shared humanity, love, and compassion. Brown believes that each person is divine. She says that looking deeper inwards and going deeper into oneself- which she refers to as “wilderness”- one will be able to respect others and belong to others with whom they share in the divine.
