Brené Brown On: How To Succeed Without Being a Bullying, Bullshitting, Power-Hungry Jerk Face

Dan Harris interviews Brené Brown about her new book, "Strong Ground," which explores how to move through life from a position of maximal strength. The conversation covers the inspiration for the book, which involves a pickleball injury, and the importance of building a strong core rather than operating from a place of dysfunction or fear. They discuss nervous system management using the above-the-line/below-the-line framework, how language acts as an indicator of emotions, the role of values, common enemy intimacy, and building capacity for paradoxical thinking. Brown shares personal anecdotes and practical advice for applying these concepts in both personal and professional settings, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, accountability, and living in alignment with one's values.
