Publisher's Summary
Show Up and Let Yourself be Seen
Is vulnerability the same as weakness? “In our culture,” teaches Dr. Brené Brown, “we associate vulnerability with emotions we want to avoid such as fear, shame, and uncertainty. Yet we too often lose sight of the fact that vulnerability is also the birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity, authenticity, and love.” On The Power of Vulnerability, Dr. Brown offers an invitation and a promise - that when we dare to drop the armor that protects us from feeling vulnerable, we open ourselves to the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Here she dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and reveals that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.
“The Power of Vulnerability is a very personal project for me,” Brené explains. “This is the first place that all of my work comes together. This audio course draws from all three of my books - it’s the culmination of everything I’ve learned over the past twelve years. I'm very excited to weave it all into a truly comprehensive form that shows what these findings and insights can mean in our lives.”
Guidance and Insights for Wholehearted Living
Over the past twelve years, Dr. Brené Brown has interviewed hundreds of people as part of an ongoing study of vulnerability. “The research shows that we try to ward disappointment with a shield of cynicism, disarm shame by numbing ourselves against joy, and circumvent grief by shutting off our willingness to love,” explains Dr. Brown. When we become aware of these patterns, she teaches, we begin to become conscious of how much we sacrifice in the name of self-defense -and how much richer our lives become when we open ourselves to vulnerability.
“In my research,” Dr. Brown says, “the word I use to describe people who can live from a place of vulnerability is wholehearted.” Being wholehearted is a practice—one that we can choose to cultivate through empathy, gratitude, and awareness of our vulnerability armor. Join this engaging and heartfelt teacher on The Power of Vulnerability as she offers profound insights on leaning into the full spectrum of emotions—so we can show up, let ourselves be seen, and truly be all in.

Beauty of Vulnerability
This book read by Brene Brown herself is absolutely fantastic and an absolute guide to being vulnerable in almost all situations !
I wish all audiobooks could be read in such an interactive manner.
How to deal with shame , how not to be inflated or deflated in such a scenario , Brene shares her own personal explamples in this one. How she has made me aware of my own situations in dealing with Shame is phenomenal.

Some gut wrenching realisations came my way.
Wow. A great story teller, some ass kicking realisations made this a totally worth experience. I'm glad I chose the audible version and not the print.

This book shows the how important it is to pay attention how we are being during regular day to day life
It’s in depth and fun at the same time. Brené has made it easier to understand with her life stories. I love that this book goes into deeper concepts that we forget to notice in our busy lives.

It’s such an eye opener
To the little things in life and the shame grimlin. I’m just amazed by the research Brene Brown has done. Such an in-depth learning of being vulnerable. She explains with the help of relatable witty examples. Definitely a must listen for everyone - whether you’re a parent or corporate worker. I’m glad to have come across her work and this book. 5 starer book

Realty helpful
I learned a lot in this book about being who we are, being seen, being empathetic and living whole heartedly. This is undoubtedly one of the best pieces of philosophy I have ever come across.
Brene Brown was just wonderful.
