Books and Vulnerability

Last week a friend of mine shared a Ted Talks video with me about vulnerability. I mostly laughed through it because what the speaker says is so true. After spending a few days thinking about the clip, I realized part of what makes books so inviting to me is that they allow me to be vulnerable in a safe place. I can relate to the characters and drop my guard in doing so. Authors who can do that for me are undoubtedly my favorite ones.

I've included the video here. It's well worth your 20 minutes to watch it. Brene Brown is such a great speaker, she'll grab your interest in the first seconds. Don't worry, her presentation is comedic because guess what? She makes herself vulnerable - in public. She a true bard and I envy her ability to be so.



Do books allow you to be vulnerable? If so, what are your favorite ones?

    Endlich kann man sich völlig zwanglos, ohne Fixkosten mit scharfen Stripperinnen und Amateurgirls verabreden, ohne das man sich Sorgen um hohe
    Kosten machen muss. Kein Wunder, dass beim Schauen eines solchen Pornos meiner Liebes-Saft in alle
    Richtungen verschossen wird, weil das hemmungslose Masturbieren wird
    garantiert.
