In her book, Brené Brown describes what it means to be vulnerable in a world focused on perfectionism and taking risks without a guarantee of success. Whether it’s about work, relationships, or parenting: it’s scary and difficult to be vulnerable, but it’s even harder not to do so and to keep asking yourself: what if I had tried?
We expect ourselves and others to keep up appearances every day to show others how well we’ve got everything together. Vulnerability is an emotion that almost no one feels comfortable with. We associate it with insecurity and risk. Yet Brené Brown says that vulnerability is, in fact, the foundation of all the beautiful things in life, such as love, trust, and joy.
In *The Power of Vulnerability*, she encourages readers to let go of perfectionism, embrace vulnerability, and take on challenges.
