Rising Strong

60-SECOND BOOK BRIEFS

BY BRENÉ BROWN

Brené Brown has written Rising Strong to show us exactly what to do when we fail - how to get back up a stronger, better version of ourselves.

Dealing with your failures comes in three stages.

The first stage is called “The Reckoning”, and it’s where you acknowledge and deal with your emotions instead of ignoring them.

How do you recognize these emotions? Usually, you’ll feel a knot in your stomach or you’ll want to eat a box of Oreos in one sitting.

The second stage is called “The Rumble”, and this is when we confront the stories we make up about ourselves through this struggle.

A common story we make up is “I’m not good enough.”

The third and last stage is called “The Revolution.” This is where we write a new ending to the story.

A story where you get up off the mat, brush yourself

off, and change the way you engage with the

world in a positive, life-affirming way.

Master these steps and you’ll be well on your way to Rising Strong when life gets you down.
