It gives you the tools to live a remarkable life, with fierce determination, inner peace, and strength while streamlining comprehensive concepts into simple actions steps and heart-warming wisdom. As you connect with yourself, you will be empowered mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Using the paradox of crude wit and compassion, this book forces you to become uncomfortably honest with yourself, then gently guides you to a place where you can shatter the limits you’ve been clinging to for comfort. It’s designed to teach the greatest lessons of self mastery and spiritual philosophy, through humour and straight shooting advice. It will trigger a force deep inside of you, that’s here for a spectacular reason. We are living in an age of addiction to short-term, instant stimulation and gratification, which is quite literally at our fingertips. This accessibility makes it difficult to change the shit that we don’t like about our lives because the stimulation acts as a numbing agent. It distracts us from the discomfort created by being inauthentic. It numbs the uneasiness enough for us to ignore the fact that we do not really know ourselves anymore, and as a result, we do not know what we really crave at a deeper level. Alas, we settle for much less than our soul desires. An unfu*kwithable life isn’t about being ‘tough’ so that no one can fuck with you. It’s about being connected to life and ourselves in a way that we are able to allow each and every moment seep deeply into our cells, our minds, our emotions, and our soul. It’s about surrender, vulnerability, grace, and courage. It’s about accepting our human conditions with unconditional love and stepping up to the task of spiritual expression by standing in our power. An unfu*kwithable life is one of emotional, mental, and, most of all, spiritual freedom.

The Power of Vulnerability: Teachings on Authenticity, Connection, and Courage

Show Up and Let Yourself be Seen

Is vulnerability the same as weakness? “In our culture,” teaches Dr. Brené Brown, “we associate vulnerability with emotions we want to avoid such as fear, shame, and uncertainty. Yet we too often lose sight of the fact that vulnerability is also the birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity, authenticity, and love.” On The Power of Vulnerability, Dr. Brown offers an invitation and a promise-that when we dare to drop the armor that protects us from feeling vulnerable, we open ourselves to the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Here she dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and reveals that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.

“The Power of Vulnerability is a very personal project for me,” Brené explains. “This is the first place that all of my work comes together. This audio course draws from all three of my books-it’s the culmination of everything I’ve learned over the past twelve years. I’m very excited to weave it all into a truly comprehensive form that shows what these findings and insights can mean in our lives.”

Guidance and Insights for Wholehearted Living

Over the past twelve years, Dr. Brené Brown has interviewed hundreds of people as part of an ongoing study of vulnerability. “The research shows that we try to ward off disappointment with a shield of cynicism, disarm shame by numbing ourselves against joy, and circumvent grief by shutting off our willingness to love,” explains Dr. Brown. When we become aware of these patterns, she teaches, we begin to become conscious of how much we sacrifice in the name of self-defense-and how much richer our lives become when we open ourselves to vulnerability.

“In my research,” Dr. Brown says, “the word I use to describe people who can live from a place of vulnerability is wholehearted.” Being wholehearted is a practice-one that we can choose to cultivate through empathy, gratitude, and awareness of our vulnerability armor. Join this engaging and heartfelt teacher on The Power of Vulnerability as she offers profound insights on leaning into the full spectrum of emotions-so we can show up, let ourselves be seen, and truly be all in.
