This book was recommended to me on my leadership journey. I’m not one for self help books usually, but I figured I’d give it a shot. My husband and I ended up listening to this as an audio book on a 4 hr road trip. It was great because along the way we’d pause and talk about what Brené was saying.

This book was overall pretty good. I’ve not read any other of her books but this was a good one to start with as she recaps a lot of her other books. While I found the whole “rumble” thing mildly annoying, the point of having conversations resonated with me. There were a couple things I took away from this books, such as clear open communication and recognizing emotions. I think with any self help book there are going to be points that are meh and some that are spot on. I really appreciated the realness of this book.

Overall I’d say this book is good and you will come out learning some great points.
