Author Brené Brown spent years studying vulnerability and how it affects humans. In this book, she shares how embracing vulnerability can transform your life.

So often people associate the word “vulnerability” with the word “weakness,” and that’s just not true. Vulnerability allows you to be in touch with your emotions and take risks that may expose you in different ways.

Reading this book, you will probably dive into yourself and realize certain things that you already knew but just couldn’t put your finger on. Even if not everything here relates directly to you, it can help you learn about others as well.

Brown has strong knowledge of the subject and uses many examples from real-life, whether it’s her own or from a person she had an interaction with.

Final say: Embrace your vulnerabilities. ★★★★★
