We all want to live more joyfully, love, hope, build serious relationships, raise happy children and be creative. However, we are often afraid of “losing face”, looking stupid, “spoiling” the reputation of an impeccable, competent, very best... In our society it is customary to be strong, successful, positive, and we do not know what to do with weakness, imperfection, shortcomings, we drive them away inside, locking it with many locks. The book by American psychologist and social work specialist Brené Brown is an amazing combination of thoughtful research and friendly conversation with a sincere interlocutor. This is a conversation about where we can get the strength to be ourselves, how to find support in our own vulnerability and imperfection. Translation: O. Kiseleva
