More quotes by Brené Brown
How can we embrace rest and play if we've tied our self-worth to what we produce?
Brené Brown
I don't just want someone who says they love me I want someone who practices that love for me every day.
Brené Brown
Courage - To tell the story of who you are with your whole heart.
Brené Brown
Cool is the emotional straightjacket. It makes us less available for connection which makes us less equipped for leadership roles.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability is the cornerstone of confidence.
Brené Brown
Joy comes to us in moments--ordina ry moments. We risk missing out on joy when we get too busy chasing down the extraordinary.
Brené Brown
We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.
Brené Brown
Worrying about scarcity is our culture's version of post-traumatic stress. It happens when we've been through too much, and rather than coming together to heal (which requires vulnerability) we're angry and scared and at each other's throats.
Brené Brown
If you put shame in a petri dish, it needs three ingredients to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you put the same amount of shame in the petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can't survive.
Brené Brown
I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity, to name a few.

We are the most in-debt, obese, addicted and medicated adult cohort in U.S. history.

Perfect and bulletproof are seductive, but they don’t exist in the human experience.
Brené Brown
The truth is, I'm a storyteller. And it scares me, because my training as an academic is that the more accessible you are and the more human you are, the less smart you are. It's a shame trigger for me to be honest.
Brené Brown
It’s no longer a question of can I do it. It’s a question of: Do I want to do it?
Brené Brown
Why, when we know that there's no such thing as perfect, do most of us spend an incredible amount of time and energy trying to be everything to everyone? Is it that we really admire perfection? No - the truth is that we are actually drawn to people who are real and down-to-earth. We love authenticity and we know that life is messy and imperfect.
Brené Brown
Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, it’s understanding the necessity of both it’s engaging. It’s being all in.
Brené Brown
'Crazy-busy' is a great armor, it's a great way for numbing. What a lot of us do is that we stay so busy, and so out in front of our life, that the truth of how we're feeling and what we really need can't catch up with us.
Brené Brown
Many people think of perfectionism as striving to be your best, but it is not about self-improvement it's about earning approval and acceptance.
Brené Brown
We can have courage or we can have comfort, but we cannot have both.
