The Power of Vulnerability: Teachings of Authenticity, Connections and Courage by Brené Brown
3.0
I listened to The Power of Vulnerability because I realized that I was judging Brené Brown without ever really listening to her. I'm not much for self-help books but I've always discounted Brené Brown. For some reason, I found her irritating and preachy, with simplistic claims that seemed like pop psychology to me. I've only ever listened to five minutes of one of her TED talks, so I had to ask myself why was I so against her?
But I am willing to admit that she may be onto something. I didn't disagree with the points she presented in this book. I still think she uses too many buzzwords but she is a good storyteller. Just because I have a problem accepting the qualitative nature of social science research doesn't negate the research. I may even listen to more of her books, with some healthy skepticism and an open mind.
