Book Description
The number one New York Times bestseller, Oprah's selection, and a hit from TED Talks. Every time we meet someone new, get creative, or start a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight these feelings—we strive to appear perfect. Yet in a powerful new vision, Dr. Brené Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability.
