pineconek 's review for:
Have I outgrown Brene Brown?
Possibly. I actually quite liked the forward to the book and the basic premise: Human beings are inherently flawed and we can love ourselves and each other anyway. Here are some nice values to remember and ways to cultivate self compassion.
I do however agree with what other low reviews have pointed out: the audience is very narrow. Brene's strength of relying on her own anecdotes slowly becomes her downfall. This book would have been infinitely more powerful if the research she alludes to was quoted directly and we got to hear stories of wholehearted living from people who aren't Brene. As such, it's not a bad book. It's just very narrow in its scope.
If you do pick this up, I recommend the audiobook read by the author. I enjoyed listening to her talk us through her story and encourage us to love ourselves more. Fluffy but wholesome, really.
2.5 stars rounded up.
