I love TED Talks and this is taken from that, the talk is from Brene Brown entitled, \u201cThe power of vulnerability\u201d<\/p>\n

Why you should listen to her:<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
Bren\u00e9 Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work<\/a>. She has spent the past ten years studying vulnerability, courage, authenticity, and shame. She spent the first five years of her decade-long study focusing on shame and empathy, and is now using that work to explore a concept that she calls Wholeheartedness. She poses the questions:<\/p>\n
How do we learn to embrace our vulnerabilities and imperfections so that we can engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to recognize that we are enough \u2013 that we are worthy of love, belonging, and joy?<\/p>\n
