Brene Brown

Brené Brown is an American researcher and author known for work on vulnerability, shame, and human connection.

Her TED talk on vulnerability became one of the most viewed, and her books—including *Daring Greatly* and *The Gifts of Imperfection*—popularized ideas about embracing imperfection and "wholehearted living." Her name often appears in discussions of self-help and emotional courage: I've been reading Brené Brown on shame resilience.
