Another book that was recommended to me by my counselor.
This is a book about vulnerability and how to try and overcome your worries to
live a full life. Brown has spent her life researching shame and vulnerability,
and her advice is very sound and thorough.
I will say that she can get repetitive at times, you read
over and over again how we need to accept our vulnerability and walk right into
it instead of avoiding it, but her tone is always wonderful and very readable.
It feels like a note from a friend rather than advice from a researcher. It is
evident that she is also someone who struggles with vulnerability and with
turning her advice into reality, as the many anecdotes in the book attest. And
that just makes her more believable and relatable as a person.
If you are interested, but aren’t sold yet, she does have a great TED talk (and several others) on
the subject. This was what drew me to her work initially, so I would highly
recommend checking it out!
