Brene Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston who studies courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy. Her 2010 TED talk, “The Power of Vulnerability,” brought her work to a wide audience, and she has since published multiple bestselling books on these subjects. Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness, and Atlas of the Heart have all reached the New York Times bestseller list.
Brown’s writing translates academic research into accessible language for general readers. Her Dare to Lead series focuses specifically on leadership, while her broader non-fiction catalog addresses personal growth and emotional resilience. She has also produced podcasts, audiobook-specific content, and a Netflix special. Her work has had a significant influence on how people talk about vulnerability and shame in both personal and professional settings.
