About this listen
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.

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.

In her late 20s, Cait Flanders found herself stuck in the consumerism cycle that grips so many of us: earn more, buy more, want more, rinse, repeat. Even after she worked her way out of nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, her old habits took hold again. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy - only keeping her from meeting her goals - she decided to set herself a challenge: she would not shop for an entire year. The Year of Less documents Cait's life for 12 months during which she bought only consumables.

What’s the most pressure you’ve ever been under? How did you react? What helped? What didn’t? Over the past five years, Dane Jensen has asked these questions of thousands of high performers - from Olympic gold medalists to Navy SEALs, politicians, executives, and busy parents. What has emerged from these conversations is that while everyone’s experiences under pressure are unique, pressure follows patterns and develops in predictable ways.

LIFE CHANGING. AMAZING. EVERY HUMAN MUST READ THIS!!!!
I discovered Brené on tv the other night while randomly landing in an Oprah Winfrey interview. I immediately bought this book and it exceeded every expectation. Can’t wait to read more of her books but I have a feeling this audiobook very concisely sums up a lot of her work!! I want to buy a paper version and my mission today is to find out if there actually is one.

We ARE enough. Period.
"The less we talk about our shame, the more we have it. The more we talk about our shame, the less we have it" - Brene Brown.
At a loss off words for how clearly and illuminating Brene Brown captures the essence of who we are as people, the difference between shame and guilt and that we, as we are, with all our flaws and imperfections, are enough.

A must hear message.
In this age where shame is running rampant and weaponized by many people in authority - teachers, politicians, religious leaders, employers parents,et al, Brene’s message breathes life and wholeness into those who desperately need to hear “you are worthy...you matter...you are enough.”
Brené is a masterful narrator and storyteller. You will not be disappointed in her message!
