I listened to the audiobook as it is difficult to find a paper-version. Brene Brown is super easy to listen to. Thought-provoking. Humorous. Down-to-earth. Overall, I enjoyed this.

Loved the audio workshop. 6+ hours of Brene and her compelling stories and humor. Listening to her talk is better than reading in my opinion!

I always thought vulnerability is weakness until my therapist recommended your talks and especially this one. We're taught since childhood to man up and stay strong, and this is why many are struggling in silence. Thank you, Brene Brown for this great talk, it was so useful, I learned a lot!

A profoundly life-changing lecture. Brené Brown helps us to see the beauty that lies in being vulnerable. Being vulnerable is difficult, but it’s an essential step to us being wholeheartedly our genuine selves.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. - Theodore Roosevelt
I will be listening to this lecture again shortly.

I listened to this on audio as part of my quest to read all Brene Brown’s books and was surprised that it isn’t a “book” per say but a recording of her speaking at a multi-session conference. At first I thought that format was gonna be distracting but I loved the relaxed, friendly, honest nature! Super comprehensive view of all her work (up to that point) with lots of actionable advice.
