Summary
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.

Perfect if feeling shame, sad, or disconnected
An excellent book that inspires how to navigate emotions and states of being like shame, love, and belonging. She explains her own definitions of emotions and shows us that we have more in common than we think. Life feels heavy when we don't understand ourselves, I believe this read also helps me understand how to navigate others in pain too. I highly recommend it,

Amazing!
This tape is such a fascinating talk. It is like a smart, deep but relaxed conversation with a good friend who is receiving all their wisdom to you. It has given me great insight into the shame spiral that has many of us in it's grips.
Shame it is just 2hrs long! ;)

Fantastic content exceptionally well delivered!
I found the content captivating, despite the fact that it is a difficult one I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Brené talking through the foundation of shame through to help strategies which can be applied to deal with this incredibly hard emotion. Thank you Brené, as always, I'm exteremly grateful for being able to access your work.

Life changing teaching
Really appreciative of Dr Brown and her body of work. This talk highlights key issues with our society and pressures that we face daily as men and women.These concepts honestly have changed my way of thinking and inspire me to talk and deal more openly about shame. Humorous, inspiring, and honest- thank you!

I finished this in one sitting. Beautifully explains shame using storytelling in a way that somehow makes learning and understanding such a sensitive subject dare I say… enjoyable?

Eye and brain opening.
Brene speaks in such a way that it feels as if she's talking directly to me. She feels it, she's felt it and it's so wonderful to hear the smile, hear the empathy in her voice.
After listening to this I've started questioning my thoughts, my shame and my worth.. This book is better than therapy. I love the term 'shame gremlins' too!
Buy this book. Buy this book and take strength back, control your life and dont let your gremlins control you!
