Shame researcher Brene Brown (author of The Gifts of Imperfection and Daring Greatly) turns her focus to what it means to feel like you belong. Unlike fitting in, true belonging comes when we feel like we are fully embraced for who we are. In a world of disconnection, Brown uses anecdotes and research to teach how to embrace ourselves and learn to see past differences to find connection and belonging.

I don't know what it is about Brené Brown, but I struggle with all of her books. Oddly, I think her content is super important and has great insights into the human condition. Which always makes me like something is wrong with me when I don't love her books. Or even like them. I'm not sure if it's me, or her writing, or just that I don't really like philosophy, but I think I'm finally throwing in the towel and admitting I am never going to be a Brené Brown fan.
