In a powerful new vision Dr Brené Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - from revealing our true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.

Enchanting story
Where does The Velveteen Rabbit rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's good and could of been great but sometimes the music almost drowned out the narration. I wish that the music was a little lower or Miss. Streep had read a little bit louder.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Velveteen Rabbit?
When the Velveteen Rabbit was told by the skin horse what it was like to become real from nursery magic.
Which character – as performed by Meryl Streep – was your favorite?
The Velveteen Rabbit
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
It made me sad when the rabbit was about to be burned.
Any additional comments?
Really good book by rabbit ears. I look forward to more.
