Brené Brown: The power of vulnerability

The power of vulnerability

Brené Brown studies human connection -- our ability to empathize, belong, love. In a poignant, funny talk, she shares a deep insight from her research, one that sent her on a personal quest to know herself as well as to understand humanity. A talk to share.

Meaningful connection gives life purpose, but fear of not being enough drives many to hide their true selves. Research with thousands of stories revealed that people who embrace vulnerability and believe they are worthy of love experience deeper belonging and joy. Attempts to numb pain also dull happiness, leading to a cycle of disconnection. Courage to be seen as imperfect opens the door to compassion, resilience, and lasting relationships.
