Brené Brown: The Journey to Worthiness (from Sounds True)

From Sounds True, this week's Producer's Pick is Brené Brown talking about The Journey to Worthiness, an excerpt from her audio course Men, Women, and Worthiness. Very cool conversation.

Brené Brown: The Journey to Worthiness

A trustworthy guide can make all the difference when we are facing the more difficult parts of our human journey. When Sounds True producer Stephen Lessard worked with Dr. Brené Brown on her audio course Men, Women, and Worthiness, he discovered a teacher who immediately created that all-important bond of trust. “Brené has a clear, simple style that makes me feel like I’m sitting across the table from a dear friend,” Stephen reports. Because of the presence she brings, Brené has a gift for helping us navigate the difficult experiences of shame and vulnerability that we often try to avoid. In this selection, she talks about why facing the swamp of our shameful feelings empowers us to live a full and wholehearted life.

RSA Thursday

Dr Brené Brown has spent the past twelve years carrying out ground-breaking research into vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame.

A best-selling author and award-winning educator, Dr Brown’s books and talks have been hugely influential in tackling the myth that vulnerability is a weakness.

She argues that it is only by embracing vulnerability and imperfection that we can live life with courage and authenticity. Recognising and acting on this insight has the power to transform the way we engage in our families, organisations, schools and communities.
