About this listen
We Are Enough: Engaging with the World from a Place of Worthiness
What does it take to be secure in our sense of belonging and self-worth? We may hustle to attain this security through achievements, meeting expectations, or repeating affirmations to ourselves - but Dr. Brené Brown's research has shown there is ultimately one obstacle to our sense of worthiness. “Shame is the barrier,” she teaches, “and building shame resilience is how we overcome it.” With Men, Women, and Worthiness, Dr. Brown draws upon more than 12 years of investigation to reveal how we can disarm the influence of shame to cultivate a life of greater courage, joy, and love. In this rich and heartfelt examination of this pivotal element of happiness, she invites you to explore:
- The differences and similarities between the experience of shame for men and women.
- Guilt vs. shame - why one is a useful force for growth, while the other keeps us small.
- The four elements of shame resilience - identifying our triggers, practicing critical awareness, sharing our story, and speaking honestly about shame.
- Empathy as the primary antidote to shame.
“Whether you are a man, woman, or child, every one of us has the irreducible need for love and belonging,” Dr. Brown teaches. “A sense of self-worth, unhindered by the inner voices of shame, allows us to meet that need.” With the warmth, candor, and humor that has made her a celebrated speaker, Brené Brown offers a road map for navigating the emotions that hold us back-so we can cultivate a life of authenticity and connection.

Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

Dr. Brown defines spirituality as something not reliant on religion, theology, or dogma - rather, it is a belief in our interconnectedness and in a loving force greater than ourselves. Whether you access the sacred through traditional worship, solitary meditation, communion with nature, or creative pursuits, one thing is clear: Rising strong after falling is a spiritual practice that brings a sense of perspective, meaning, and purpose to our lives.

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.

LIFE CHANGING. AMAZING. EVERY HUMAN MUST READ THIS!!!!
I discovered Brené on tv the other night while randomly landing in an Oprah Winfrey interview. I immediately bought this book and it exceeded every expectation. Can’t wait to read more of her books but I have a feeling this audiobook very concisely sums up a lot of her work!! I want to buy a paper version and my mission today is to find out if there actually is one.

I listened this book twice
I listened to this book twice. The second time I took notes. I liked the Author’s Authenticity Mantra. I highly recommend this book for everyone. This book is encouraging, helpful, and teaches us that we are all worthy of love and belonging. It explains why we may feel unworthy; talks about shame; empathy and compassion, shame resilience, strategies of disconnection, and how to work through the journey of shame. What was most helpful to me is learning that shame hijacks the limbic system just like trauma symptoms/reactions. I’ve been doing work(self-help) for multiple years now - learning about trauma and grief, and this was the first time I have heard a connection between the limbic system and shame. Which completely makes sense. I have fallen into all 3 strategies you speak about that people use to deal with shame. Learning what you have shared will be beneficial to my healing and growth journey. Thank you to the Author Brene Brown for sharing her insights, knowledge, wisdom and personal experiences. You, and the work you do are appreciated.

I share it with everyone. Brene is funny and uses relevant experiences from her life to educate. Her stories are vulnerability embodied.

We ARE enough. Period.
"The less we talk about our shame, the more we have it. The more we talk about our shame, the less we have it" - Brene Brown.
At a loss off words for how clearly and illuminating Brene Brown captures the essence of who we are as people, the difference between shame and guilt and that we, as we are, with all our flaws and imperfections, are enough.
BE WHO YOU ARE

A must hear message.
In this age where shame is running rampant and weaponized by many people in authority - teachers, politicians, religious leaders, employers parents,et al, Brene’s message breathes life and wholeness into those who desperately need to hear “you are worthy...you matter...you are enough.”
Brené is a masterful narrator and storyteller. You will not be disappointed in her message!
