Brene Brown’s first novel was
Women & Shame, in which she explores the topic of shame and why it can be so isolating. She explores how modern humans are bombarded with messages about the importance of being perfect, accepted, and liked, which can result in feelings of superiority when it does not happen.
Brown helps her readers understand the phenomenon and, even more importantly, what to do about it in order to live a more wholesome life.
I Thought It Was Just Me was Brene Brown’s second work, in which she made use of her years of research and interviews to showcase a critical truth. Brown asserts that imperfection is what makes us human and makes it possible for us to connect with other imperfect people. She asserts that it is the connection that gives us true meaning and purpose in life, particularly when we are grateful for our gifts and even our imperfections.
