My wife Leslie and I have used Brené Brown's work in our lives for years. We have her Parenting Manifesto posted on our wall, we use the phrase "The story I'm telling myself..." when things are getting heated, we ask each other to "come down to the hole with me" when we need empathy from each other, and we've gifted each other her books many times. It was a privilege to sit down with Brené on my podcast 3 Books to discuss her 3 most formative books as well as many other topics including how to truly see your partner, what it takes to be a great teacher, how to operationalize love, and much, much more...
Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston and the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers including The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the WIlderness, and Dare to Lead. She is the host of the Unlocking Us and Dare to Lead podcasts and her TED Talk "The Power of Vulnerability" has over 50 million views. She has spent over two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy.

Hey there,
I'm Neil and I spend a ton of time thinking, writing, podcasting, and speaking about living intentionally. I'm the New York Times bestselling author of six books including The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation. I've been lucky to speak at places like TED, SXSW, and Google. And I host a huge passion project called the 3 Books podcast.
