I've seen some of her speeches and was somewhat aware of her work, so I knew I wanted to read this when I saw it at a thrift shop. There's some really good, important work here and I was able to connect with a lot of it, but I'd say go for something more recent if you're looking for one of her books. There were parts that felt very outdated. I also felt like there were times where socioeconomic and geographic backgrounds were ignored. It's easy to say everyone has an absolute right to choose their doctor or therapist, and I'd love if that were true, but if you consider the American insurance industry, or even geography, that's not true for a lot of people. There were a few other very absolutist statements in this book, that I think she has moved away from in more recent years. I do think I learned a lot though, and found myself reading aloud to my husband at times. There were a few interviews with BIPOC women but I'd say it's a pretty white, upper class book. She did say she grew up in a more modest socioeconomic background but the other statements and advice still felt pretty much geared towards wealthier people.

Powerful research on shame in women's lives, readable and relatable.
October 9, 2025
Treads a lot of the same ground as Daring Greatly, but I don't care. I could use a little Brené Brown to sit on my shoulder and remind me not to let shame get the best of me.
As my friend Maggie says, hurt people hurt people. Shame causes us to hurt both others and ourselves. This book is another entry on God's syllabus that reminds me that in order to be compassionate to others we must also be compassionate to ourselves.
Some other key takeaways:
1. "You cannot shame or belittle people into changing their behaviors." The clinical director of a residential treatment facility said this to Brené Brown, and I am now repeating it to you.
2. You cannot shame or belittle yourself into changing your behaviors. This is a 2x4 from the Holy Spirit to me, an idea that has been repeated in about eleventy-billion things I've read in the past two years, this book included. "Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of changing."
3. "Shame diminishes our capacity to practice empathy."
which is really bad because
4. The empathy of shared experience is the quickest way to kill shame.
5. "...there is a power in writing down our thoughts, reading them, and reflecting on them."
6. If you know the sensitive issues that trigger your shame, you'll be more likely to develop what Brown calls shame resilience.
7. For women those triggers are usually one or more of the following: appearance/body image, motherhood, family, parenting, money/work, mental and physical health, sex, aging, religion, and anything that could earn you a label, i.e. being stereotyped or surviving trauma.
8. For men, most shame comes down to one thing: don't be weak. Men should be allowed to have a full range of emotions. Sadness, depression, shame--none of these are a weakness. The flip side of feminism is that men should be allowed to
9. When we experience shame--and all of us do--we tend to either shut down/withdraw or act out. Instead, we should learn to express our feelings and to ask for what we need.
10. Additionally, we can discharge shame by reaching out to those we know and love and trust in order to tell our stories. If someone reaches out to us, we need to do the best we can to normalize the feelings of others, to help them contextualize their experience and thus demystify the shame.
11. Despite the very human tendency to focus on our shortcomings, it's crucial that we recognize the things we do well. Even our weaknesses have a strength on their flip side.
12. Harriet Lerner: "Although the connections are not always obvious, personal change is inseparable from social and political change." A part of happiness is authenticity, and authenticity is being yourself even when social and political forces want you to be someone else.
13. How do we go beyond our own shame to connect with others? To quote Brown's mama (and mine, probably), "You do it because that's the person you want to be. You do it because that could have been me and one day it could just as easily be you."
And most importantly for this day and time (and always)
From Mavis Leno: "If you want to make a difference, the next time you see someone being cruel to another human being, take it personally. Take it personally because it is personal."
Which is to say, I'm sorry for all the times I allowed my shame to hurt any of you. Truly.
Perfection is unattainable, something it's taken me a while to figure out, but small improvements are the way we get better. To quote Mike Myers as Middle-Aged Man, "I'm working on it! I'm working on it!"

Felt scattered and could be shorter perhaps an email. But maybe it was me! Took me a while to finish this one, but we did it 😤

this book will tear you apart & then piece you back together more healed than when you started. i didn’t realize how much shame there is in our culture & in my life but after reading this, it’s so apparent. so good to learn about how shame impacts us, even if you didn’t grow up in a typical “shame-honor” culture.

The stories told, the points made, the exercises suggested in this book are very valuable for everyone to navigate a world full of impossible expectations. Everything was relatable which helps me dig up my own experiences and truly rise up from my own shortcomings.

Really good read! Ça ma pris du temps à le finir lol mais c'était vrm bon. L'auteure est une psychologue, so defois jfeel ça peut être un peu hard a comprendre. Mais celui-ci pas du tout, c'était vrm intéressant pj j'adore son writing style! 4.5/5
August 24, 2025
A good reminder that understanding is the path toward true empathy. You cannot empathize with anyone until you empathize with yourself.
It was written from a female perspective on shame and empathy, but most points throughout the book were universal. I found the last chapter’s section on male shame to be quite fascinating though.
As always, love a good Brené Brown book.

My biggest struggle was the female focus, but only because I don’t have a parallel experience not because of any bias. But that would up being a positive, opening my eyes to experiences I hadn’t really thought about. The last chapter she discusses why she opted out of interviewing and studying men and what happened when she changed course on that, and…Niagara Falls, Frankie. 😭
December 26, 2024
Strong 4.5 - would recommend to many of my gal friends! Can be slow at times but helped me focus on empathy in my interactions more than sympathy.
March 26, 2025
Recommended reading for all women!
August 11, 2025
Definitely recommend. Women are the primary focus of her research in this book but I think everyone would benefit since we all experience shame.
August 11, 2025
Great idea and very important. Could have had a few more ways to combat shame.
August 13, 2024
Eye opening.
Why do women react so to perceived shame and guilt?
Great use of charts to explain the author’s points. Anecdotal examples.

This was a soul-searching read. As you read through the book and all the interviews with women, you think “am I this?”, “have I done this to another woman?” “What can I do to stop this cycle?” It really made me stop and think about my trauma loop and how hard I have worked on myself to not shame myself. It was an incredible read and I would recommend it to anyone!

Brene Brown has developed as a writer and storyteller since this book was published but this was still an excellent source for learning to define shame and understand its emotional impact.
August 11, 2025
3.5 Sometimes redundant or self-evident, but had concepts that would be important for everyone to know. I think if everyone understood shame and could hold more empathy, we would navigate conflict better and communicate more clearly.

A book to keep learning how authenticity can open you the doors of real connections.
While reading it I was able to break free from some patterns of behavior which were not making me any good, but were more orientated to comply with what I believed was expected.
In this book you get a better understanding on how carefully opening your real self can bring you connections to the right persons and situations in your life, at the same time that you learn how to get yourself more permission to tell things out loud and get yourself outside of negative situation and not take in any shit with is not yours.
I ended up the book confirming something that I was thinking for a while: how boring it’s to be popular and cool, and how trapped people who are “top” can feel when they need this dynamic of being cool and alpha to keep feeling good. And how liberating it could be to just shout out-loud what you truly think, and this can help you to form long lasting connections

February 19, 2024I listened for quite awhile on this one. The concept of shame as a self-help topic is interesting I guess... though I just kept thinking from a Christian standpoint that all these women just need Jesus. We don't need an entire book about how to manage shame when He can take it for us.

My favorite Brené Brown book yet! I didn’t realize how shame can be found in almost every part of our lives. Work, family, and friends, etc. Empathy is such a big factor into how we can become shame resilient. Without empathy to others and from others we can feel alone and isolated in shame. The shame web visual was a great way to visualize how shame occurs. Throughout I not only thought of how people have tried to use shame on me but how I still have work to do when it comes to my own judgement of others….. a human battle within ourselves that never ends. It’s all about awareness and willingness to change. I learned how people use blame to deal with feelings of their own powerlessness. I reflected a lot on men and shame throughout this book and was so happy the author mentioned her research for that at the end of the book. I feel like men really struggle with community, they don’t have many people to talk to deeply. It makes me feel bad for them. Women build strong friendships to gain support and receive empathy while men do not always feel they can be vulnerable. As a feminist, not only do I want young girls to feel free but also young boys. They shouldn’t have to hide a part of themselves because it’s not masculine. I also think in the past I have been cringed by vulnerability from men. Another thing I will be working on. I love that the author was very authentic and raw. She didn’t hide her mistakes which is so refreshing. I love that she added participant stories from her research. I will have to dive deeper into Brown’s work but I want to learn more about shame when it comes to family. Shame in family to me is the worst type of manipulation. I like the idea of families changing how they parent to make the next generation more resilient. Generational family trauma is real and we can break those patterns 🔥 I would recommend this to everyone. I may be making this a Christmas present for many. I’ve already had some great conversations about this book with my friends.
Quotes
“You cannot shame or belittle people into changing their behaviors” pg 1
“Courage gives us a voice and compassion gives us an ear. Without both, there is no opportunity for empathy and connection.” Pg 42
“ Are we using shame as a punishment because we think it will foster real change in people? Or are we shaming others because it feels good to make people suffer when we are in fear, anger, or judgment?” Pg 66
“Change can take many forms— there is nothing more inherently political than breaking through social-community expectations so we can live our lives at our full potential and help others do the same. Practicing courage, compassion, and connection in the face of shame is a political act” pg 132
“It’s about understanding that we are all vulnerable to being judged and feeling shame about our experiences. And equally important we are all vulnerable to judging and shaming others about their experiences.” Pg 146-147
“We can’t stop shame from happening, but we can learn to recognize it early enough to move through it constructively, rather than destructively.” Pg 160

This might be my new favorite Brené Brown book… which is saying a lot. This book focuses specifically on women and how shame affects us in various ways in different areas of our life—everything from body image/appearance to religion, race, motherhood, parenting, relationships, etc. It fluctuates between sharing stories of the hundreds of women she interviewed, her own life, & spitting truth about shame & how to build shame resilience.
One of my favorite takeaways from this book has been the way she challenges the reader to consider the expectations you place on yourself, then ask yourself questions like “is this expectation realistic?” “what happens if people don’t perceive me this way?” “where did this expectation/perception come from?” & “who benefits from this expectation?” — the latter being a mind blowing when you consider the billion-dollar industries that often benefit/contribute to stereotypes/cultural ideals.
Here are a few quotes I bookmarked (when I whip out the stickies, you KNOW it’s legit haha).
“Shame is often what drives us to hate our bodies, fear rejection, stop taking risks, or hide the experiences and parts of our lives that we fear others might judge.”
“Shame is the voice of perfectionism.”
“Shame js about perception. Shame is how we see ourselves through other people’s eyes.”
“In our culture… we seem to measure the value of people’s contributions (& sometimes their entire lives) by their level of public recognition… worth is measured by fame & fortune… we equate ordinary with boring… [and] ordinary has become synonymous with meaningless.”
“We equate vulnerability with weakness.”
“We cannot change and grow when we are in shame and we can’t use shame to change ourselves or others.”

I’d say this is a 4.5 but I rounded it up to a 5! This was a really powerful read for me suggested by someone I admire. I was seeking books about finding my own voice and not caring so much about other people’s opinions or expectations (and my assumptions of those very things). I underlined a lot of her words and they really spoke to me. I feel like I have a better understanding of how to foster shame resilience and empathy for myself along with my future children. Although there were some things I may not have completely agreed with, there were a lot of helpful takeaways that have changed me for the better as a woman and as a human being in general. I am intrigued in learning more about shame, shame resilience, and men so I look forward to if she researches about that and writes a book.

One of Brene Brown’s earliest books on the aspect of shame; and definitely not her best. This book is mostly targeted at mothers and bored white middle-class house wives and despite a few gold nuggets, I could not relate to this book. I enjoyed some of the academic analysis and the deeper understanding of shame and need for connection. But ultimately it was long-winded and could have been shorter, some of the case studies were unnecessary. I listened to this audio book version and the narrator was very awkward and stilted and sounded like an AI bot which probably contributed to my dislike of this book. In Brene’s latest books, she narrates them herself and it feels like the listener is having an authentic conversation.

Love a good Brene Brown book. Very interesting distinction between shame vs guilt vs humiliation and the forces that influence our tendency to feel each of them. And that men and women are shaped by the same forces but with entirely separate societal expectations (I.e women made to feel smaller to allow others to feel comfort and men can be anything except weak) Also really appreciate her call to action of a critical mass - it’s the small stuff everyday that fosters connection and combats isolation/silence/shame. I do feel like this book could have been a bit shorter and got more repetitive towards the end but I guess ok w a good message.

Certainly not Brené Browns best book, but amazing nonetheless. At this point in my life, Brené Brown is required reading. I wish I’d have found her sooner. I wish I’d had this advice in my 20’s and 30’s when it seemed all I did was try to please everyone and constantly worry about how people perceived me. I got to my 40’s and finally came to grips with the fact that I’m not for everyone and THAT’S OK. This book is the next step, which is letting go of the shame, and finally just being my genuine self. As a middle aged woman, and someone in a religion that expects a lot—and deals out plenty of judgement and shame if you don’t live up to those expectations—this book was plenty helpful!

I read this book after already knowing much of Brene Brown's work. I've read other books, seen her TED talks and other interviews. So in reading one of her earlier books, I admit I skimmed much of in first few chapters. But even I found meaningful news insights from the four elements she discusses in this book. some parts bringing me to tears because I felt seen, in a good way. This is an excellent book on understanding shame and how to overcome it.
This book contains lots and lots of stories from her interviews. Even if you've already read Brene Brown's books, I think reading the chapters on the four elements is still worth it.

Not a perfect book but so insightful and relevant. This Brown book focuses on her research I to women and shame. It’s all about compassion, courage and connection. Brene Brown’s research and insight encourage to be a better and more authentic person and that is a good thing. Seeing the connection between the dharma book I recently read and this book. One encourages passive acceptance and letting go to deal with complexity; this one encourages active engagement and analysis. Have to admit, this approach speaks more to me.
