The Power Of Vulnerability

February 9, 2011 § Leave a comment

This is one hell of a TED talk. Brene Brown is an ethnographic researcher and looks at our emotions of shame, courage and vulnerability.

It starts with humour, takes you through her personal experience – and packs a real punch at the end.

  • Shame is the fear of disconnection
  • “Sleep is comfortable, but awakening is interesting.” Inayat Khan
  • We’re numbing our emotions – both good and bad.
  • There isn’t discourse in politics and mysticism in religion anymore, just blame.

You can follow Brene on twitter.
h/t Laurie Walmsley.
