Brene brown dare to be vulnerable5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() She found inspiration in an unexpected place. "It wasn't worth it to me to step into my power and play big, because I didn't know if I could literally, physically withstand the criticism." I mean, I just didn't," Brown says, describing how she felt after her TED talk exploded into a viral sensation with over 35 million views, putting her in the public spotlight. "The fear of shame, the fear of criticism, was so great in my life up until that point, I mean just paralyzing, that I engineered smallness in my life. ![]() While her conclusions are founded in research, Brown's approach in The Call to Courage emphasizes the personal, beginning with her own struggles to choose to put herself out into the world and embrace vulnerability, which she defines as "the feeling we get when we feel uncertain, at risk, or emotionally exposed." On Friday, Netflix released Brené Brown: The Call to Courage, in which she shares how bravery, belonging, vulnerability and joy interrelate, both in our personal lives and in how they resonate through society. Brown is the author of five New York Times bestsellers, her latest book is Dare to Lead. Ever since a blockbuster 2010 TED talk called The Power of Vulnerability, Brown has synthesized her findings for huge audiences. In her capacity as a research professor at the University of Houston, Brené Brown studies some of our most complex emotions and social interactions, like shame and vulnerability, developing a theory of shame resilience in women based on hundreds of interviews. ![]()
