== Introduction ==

 

📘 '''''Rising Strong''''' is a nonfiction book by research professor {{Tooltip|Brené Brown}} that sets out a three-phase framework—“the reckoning, the rumble, and the revolution”—for getting back up after setbacks. First published in the {{Tooltip|United States}} by {{Tooltip|Spiegel & Grau}} on 25 August 2015, it extends Brown’s earlier work on vulnerability into a repeatable, practice-based process. The book blends qualitative social-science research with personal narratives and case stories from families, teams, and leaders to show how to own hard stories and write a braver ending. Chapters move through the three stages—reckoning with emotions, rumbling with the stories we’re telling ourselves, and living the learning as a daily practice. On release, it debuted at #1 on the ''{{Tooltip|Publishers Weekly}}'' Hardcover Nonfiction list for the week of 7 September 2015, selling more than 30,000 print copies that week.<ref name="PW20150907">{{cite news |title=This Week's Bestsellers: September 7, 2015 |url=https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/bookselling/article/67983-this-week-s-bestsellers-september-7-2015.html |work=Publishers Weekly |date=4 September 2015 |access-date=6 November 2025}}</ref> It drew mainstream attention, including an ''{{Tooltip|Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday}}'' episode titled “Rising Strong” on 4 October 2015 and selection as one of the {{Tooltip|Greater Good Science Center}}’s Favorite Books of 2015.<ref name="OWN20151004">{{cite web |title=Full Episode: Rising Strong with Brené Brown |url=https://www.oprah.com/own-super-soul-sunday/full-episode-rising-strong-with-brene-brown-video |website=Oprah.com |publisher=Oprah Winfrey Network |date=4 October 2015 |access-date=6 November 2025}}</ref><ref name="GG2015">{{cite web |title=Our Favorite Books of 2015 |url=https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/our_favorite_books_of_2015 |website=Greater Good Science Center |publisher=University of California, Berkeley |date=15 December 2015 |access-date=6 November 2025}}</ref>
