    Spirituality provides strength in difficult times through interconnectedness with something greater than ourselves. It gives an irreplaceable resource to help persevere through hard times and arise stronger. Spirituality is not reliant on religion or dogma, but can be accessed through traditional worship, meditation, nature, or creative pursuits. Cultivating one's own approach to spirituality supports the process of reckoning with emotions after a fall, rumbling with stories to find truth, and living this process daily until it becomes a practice that revolutionizes our lives.

    The key takeaways are that spirituality provides an irreplaceable resource to help people persevere through hard times and arise stronger, and that cultivating one's own spirituality through practices like meditation or nature is important for resilience.

    According to the passage, spirituality is not reliant on religion, theology, or dogma, but rather is a belief in our interconnectedness and in a loving force greater than ourselves.

    The passage states that without exception, spirituality emerged as a critical component of resilience and overcoming struggle, as it encourages people to be themselves instead of changing to fit in and provides a sense of perspective and meaning.

    Spirituality—How It Makes Us Stronger

    It is the rise from falling that Brown takes as her subject


    in Rising Strong.
    With her previous bestsellers, Dr. Brené Brown helped us realize that
    vulnerability is the birthplace for trust, courage, joy, creativity, and
    love. Yet a willingness to be vulnerable means accepting that life will
    sometimes knock us down. Where do we find the strength to get back
    up?
    In her research on resilient people, Brené discovered a key factor.
    “Without exception,” she says, “the concept of spirituality emerged
    from the data as a critical component of resilience and overcoming
    struggle.” On Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice, Brené offers an in-
    depth exploration of this key aspect of wholehearted living, including:
     The spiritual dimension of the Rising Strong process: the
    Reckoning, the Rumble, and the Revolution
     A sense of belonging—how spirituality encourages us to be
    ourselves instead of trying to change in order to fit in
     Why the sense of perspective provided by a spiritual practice
    helps us find meaning and purpose
     “Are we doing the best we can?”—How faith in humanity can
    help us become more compassionate and less judgmental
     Why the spiritual understanding of death and rebirth are
    invaluable in the process of forgiveness

    On Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice, Brené defines spirituality as


    something not reliant on religion, theology, or dogma—rather, it is a
    belief in our interconnectedness and in a loving force greater than
    ourselves. Whether you access the sacred through traditional
    worship, solitary meditation, communion with nature, or creative
    pursuits, one thing is clear: cultivating your own approach to
    spirituality gives you an irreplaceable resource to help you persevere
    through hard times and arise stronger and wiser than before.
    Social scientist Brené Brown has ignited a global conversation
    on courage, vulnerability, shame, and worthiness. Her
    pioneering work uncovered a profound truth: Vulnerability-the
    willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of
    outcome-is the only path to more love, belonging, creativity,
    and joy. But living a brave life is not always easy: We are,
    inevitably, going to stumble and fall.

    As a grounded theory researcher, Brown has listened as a


    range of people-from leaders in Fortune 500 companies and
    the military to artists, couples in long-term relationships,
    teachers, and parents-shared their stories of being brave,
    falling, and getting back up. She asked herself, What do these
    people with strong and loving relationships, leaders nurturing
    creativity, artists pushing innovation, and clergy walking with
    people through faith and mystery have in common? The
    answer was clear: They recognize the power of emotion and
    they're not afraid to lean in to discomfort.

    Walking into our stories of hurt can feel dangerous. But the
    process of regaining our footing in the midst of struggle is
    where our courage is tested and our values are forged. Our
    stories of struggle can be big ones, like the loss of a job or the
    end of a relationship, or smaller ones, like a conflict with a
    friend or colleague. Regardless of magnitude or circumstance,
    the rising strong process is the same: We reckon with our
    emotions and get curious about what we're feeling;
    we rumble with our stories until we get to a place of truth;
    and we live this process, every day, until it becomes a
    practice and creates nothing short of a revolution in our lives.
    Rising strong after a fall is how we cultivate
    wholeheartedness. It's the process, Brown writes, that
    teaches us the most about who we are.
