The book opens with this quote from Maya Angelou: It’s exactly the things that you do to try and belong that will, in fact, keep you from finding true refuge. True belonging is found within yourself – not in any other place. The main message of the book is really this: A topic close to my heart for many reasons, have a read of my last post on belonging here.īrené’s new book Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone is as the title suggests all about the desire that we all feel to belong to something that is bigger than just ourselves. For me, they always feel like home, which is an interesting statement as her latest book Braving the Wilderness is all about belonging. For those of you who haven’t read any of her work yet, go grab yourself a book – any of her books. Gosh, I love Brené Brown – like BIG love. True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are it requires you to be who you are. True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness.
