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.

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent more than three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

These days, no one in America feels immune to violence. But now, in this extraordinary, groundbreaking book, the nation's leading expert on predicting violent behavior unlocks the puzzle of human violence and shows that, like every creature on earth, we have within us the ability to predict the harm others might do us and get out of its way. Contrary to popular myth, human violence almost always has a discernible motive and is preceded by clear warning signs.

It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.

The relentless pursuit of high self-esteem has become a virtual religion - and a tyrannical one at that. Our ultracompetitive culture tells us we need to be constantly above average to feel good about ourselves, but there is always someone more attractive, successful, or intelligent than we are. And even when we do manage to grab hold of high self-esteem for a brief moment, we can't seem to keep it. Our sense of self-worth goes up and down like a ping-pong ball, rising and falling in lockstep with our latest success or failure.

"True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are." Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW, has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives - experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame, and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarization.

Short
It wasn’t made clear it was just a summary of the book. Information given was good, but not worth one credit.

Read what you are purchasing
I did not look closely before purchase. Just clicked on first entry for title. Didn’t realize it was a 30 min synopsis, not full 8-10 hr book. Still may be useful, but not what I had intended.

Great content, terrible narration!
Brené Brown‘s work is phenomenal. I know many, many people who are familiar and well versed in Dr. Brown’s work. I don’t know anybody that thinks her work is anything short of phenomenal. Unfortunately, this “summary book“ is narrated by a person who shouldn’t be narrating. The narrator’s response to punctuation is odd and inconsistent. For example, he doesn’t pause long enough at periods, and he pauses in midsentence. There’s no flow. It’s very distracting…so much so that it negatively affects the ability to really take in the content. Also, Brené Brown is a wonderful narrator, and her voice, as well as her command of her own content, are additional benefits when listening to her narrate her own books. Unfortunately, the narrator of this book is nowhere near a Brené Brown.

Nice Review of the Book
The narrator did an excellent job. Unfortunately I thought I downloaded the actual book, not the overview.

Very short for an audible credit
I thought I was purchasing a book by Brene brown but got a 30 minute synopsis of her book. For this I had to pay for a whole book?

Refreshing
Enjoyed the calm, soothing voice of the narrator and the straight-to-the-point summary of the damaging effects of Perfectionism. What a lesson for whoever will listen and act. Thank you!

Very Helpful Summary
My sister recommended the book The Gifts of Imperfection. It sounded like something I would like to read, but the audiobook won’t be out for quite a few more months. I decided to listen to the summary to get an overview of the book. I enjoyed the narration, and I think I got the main takeaways from the book which I really enjoyed. I am a super slow reader so I don’t usually get around to reading many physical books. I much prefer to listen while I work. This summary was a great way to get bite-sized chunks of a much longer book. I’ll definitely consider buying the full version when it comes out.
