Show Up and Let Yourself be SeenIs vulnerability the same as weakness? In our culture, teaches Dr. Brene Brown, we associate vulnerability with emotions we want to avoid such as fear, shame, and uncertainty. Yet we too often lose sight of the fact that vulnerability is also the birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity, authenticity, and love. On The Power of Vulnerability, Dr. Brown offers an invitation and a promise that when we dare to drop the armor that protects us from feeling vulnerable, we open ourselves to the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Here she dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and reveals that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. The Power of Vulnerability is a very personal project for me, Brene explains. This is the first place that all of my work comes together. This audio course draws from all three of my books it s the culmination of everything I ve learned over the past 12 years. I'm very excited to weave it all into a truly comprehensive form that shows what these findings and insights can mean in our lives. Guidance and Insights for Wholehearted LivingOver the past 12 years, Dr. Brene Brown has interviewed hundreds of people as part of an ongoing study of vulnerability. The research shows that we try to ward disappointment with a shield of cynicism, disarm shame by numbing ourselves against joy, and circumvent grief by shutting off our willingness to love, explains Dr. Brown. When we become aware of these patterns, she teaches, we begin to become conscious of how much we sacrifice in the name of self-defense and how much richer our lives become when we open ourselves to vulnerability. In my research, Dr. Brown says, the word I use to describe people who can live from a place of vulnerability is wholehearted. Being wholehearted is a practice one that we can choose to cultivate through empathy, gratitude, and awareness of our vulnerability armor.
