By Brené Brown

Brené Brown draws on years of interviews with women to study how shame shapes everyday life. She explains what shame is, how it differs from guilt and embarrassment, and why it leaves people feeling isolated. She looks at how shame appears around appearance, motherhood, family, work and aging, and introduces her idea of shame resilience: recognizing shame, reaching out to others and speaking about it, so that empathy and connection can replace it.
