She expands by saying that the ability to think past ‘either or’ situations in in fact the foundation of critical thinking. Societies have become too linear in factions, are you in or out dogma. She ratioinalises that this stems from a modern adoption of a rigid ‘either or’ mindset. She alludes to a global social crisis where conflict is all too omnipresent. More acknowledging of a better, higher perspective, thank you Brene. I feel more peaceful and ‘connected’ after reading it. This feels both transformational and poignant in revelation and depth of teaching. Some cite Braving The Wilderness as Brene Brown’s seminal piece and, even without having read her other publications, I can understand why. I respect this book as my trigger to explore her other major work. This has mainly stemmed from observing emotionally charged behaviours in situations like the following:- what happens when colleagues feel paranoid they’re on the management hit list ie next one out, what happens when my teenager is ostracised inexplicably by her ‘friends’, and indeed what family dynamics emerge when four exuberant children are simultaneously vying for status, belonging and their sense of home.īrene Brown did not disappoint me in my exploration and I wholeheartedly recommend you devour this asap. I was drawn to this book as I’ve been researching our human need to be part of a tribe with fascinated passion recently.
