'The Power of Vulnerability' by Brené Brown
"If you haven’t heard of Brené Brown yet, you’re seriously missing out on the most authentic ‘how-to’ of ‘self-help’ I’ve ever come across. She’s not just someone who’s telling you how to change your life. She has a Ph.D. in social work, and she does actual research with actual people to see what makes people happy.
"She has written a number of books (all best-sellers, I might add) on having tough conversations, leading our own lives, being brave, finding worthiness, being imperfect, and so many other fundamental aspects of vulnerability — the key to her teachings.
"This audio book is chock-full of stories and teachings from the author herself. It’s her first ‘lecture’ that combines the lessons from all her books. The 6 hours of audio book will teach you the essential skills for living a life of courage, authenticity, and compassion. She explains why we feel the way we feel about certain things — and how to move past feelings of shame to live a life of wholeheartedness. It’s just incredible." — Christine Bettlach Anderson, executive director of audience
