Summary: "Brené Brown's 2010 TED talk "The Power of Vulnerability" has had over 21 million internet views so far. She has written books on the transformative gifts of shame and vulnerability, and she encourages wholehearted living. Her work has been embraced by Oprah Winfrey and she is a highly sought after public speaker. For Brene, the conversation about vulnerability and shame naturally evolves into a discussion of bravery--its origins, its catalysts, its chemistry. What constitutes bravery. What activates the impulse to be brave. And how to recognize where our own "hero's journey" begins--in the depths of failure, disappointment, heartbreak, and grief--and how, once we grapple withour story, we are able to rise from those depths and determine how we want our story will end. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. She is the author of Daring greatly : how the courage to be vulnerable transforms the way we live, love, parent, and lead"--Provided by publisher.
