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.

The Power of Vulnerability teaches us how to practice courage and accept imperfection, to embrace vulnerability and acknowledge our fears, to lean into our frailties and express our feelings without hesitation, to engage with the world from a vulnerable place.

I've spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy. I'm the author of six #1 New York Times bestsellers, and I'm the host of the original podcasts Unlocking Us and Dare to Lead.
