I Thought It Was Just Me

I Thought It Was Just Me: Women Reclaiming Power and Courage in a Culture of Shame by Brené Brown
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This was my first Brene Brown book and I am assured that others are better. I think she dies a good job of defining what shame is and how it harms us but I don't feel like she was clear enough on what to do to combat it. The whole book was circular and used too many drawn out "episodes" of shame especially in her life, which just seemed like she was trying to shame the people that shamed her. Best take away from the book: be nicer to people.
