I love Brene’s working style, feels like she is sitting here talking to me. She is an excellent story teller, and that is rare for a research professor:)

Has far as self help books goes this is not my favorite.
She uses story telling as a way to help relate her points to the readers or audience, but it is a bit to much. Her thoughts get lost in the stories and it ends up being more biographical then informational.
She does make some good points throughout the book and seems knowledgeable on the topic of shame.
I wouldn’t be a hurry to recommend this book unless someone is struggling with shaming themselves and trying to get a starter pack as to why that might be.

Brene Brown's books are always so insightful, and I enjoyed taking the time to read this one. While this one is older, some of her ideas are repeated in later books, but with different anecdotes, and I liked how she still makes each lesson different. I think this was an important read as well, and it helped me get out of my head a bit, especially during a bumpy time in life. It was also short and not full of jargon, which made it a lot easier to relate to and understand.

A little surface level/stereotypical self-help catch phrase filled at times but I did like when she talked about her qualitative research process at the end. My favorite sections were on creativity and the idea of having multiple roles (ie accountant/jeweler).

Ugh every Brown book I read I think: I need to read this again and study it, drink it in, digest it. She has done such great research into people and how to live a better life. I don’t always know how to implement it (or even where to start) but a lot of this rings true in the best and most uncomfortable ways.
