I woke up the morning after I gave that talk with the worst vulnerability hangover of my life. And I actually didnt leave my house for about three days.　　The first time I left was to meet a friend for lunch. And when I walked in, she was already at the table. I sat down, and she said, God, you look like hell. I said, Thanks. I feel really -- Im not functioning. And she said, Whats going on And I said, I just told 500 people that I became a researcher to avoid vulnerability. And that when being vulnerable emerged from my data, as absolutely essential to whole-hearted living, I told these 500 people that I had a breakdown. I had a slide that said Breakdown. At what point did I think that was a good idea　　And she said, I saw your talk live-streamed. It was not really you. It was a little different than what you usually do. But it was great.And I said, This cant happen. YouTube, theyre putting this thing on YouTube. And were going to be talking about 600, 700 people.　　And she said, Well, I think its too late.　　And I said, Let me ask you something. And she said, Yeah. I said, Do you remember when we were in college, really wild and kind of dumb She said, Yeah. I said, Remember when wed leave a really bad message on our ex-boyfriends answering machineThen wed have to break into his dorm room and then erase the tape　　And she goes, Uh... no.　　Of course, the only thing I could say at that point was, Yeah, me neither. Yeah -- me neither.　　And Im thinking to myself, Bren, what are you doing Why did you bring this up Have you lost your mind Your sisters would be perfect for this.　　So I looked back up and she said, Are you really going to try to break in and steal the video before they put it on YouTube　　And I said, Im just thinking about it a little bit.　　She said, Youre like the worst vulnerability role model ever.　　Then I looked at her and I said something that at the time felt a little dramatic, but ended up being more prophetic than dramatic. If 500 turns into 1,000 or 2,000, my life is over.　　I had no contingency plan for four million.　　And my life did end when that happened. And maybe the hardest part about my life ending is that I learned something hard about myself, and that was that, as much as I would be frustrated about not being able to get my work out to the world, there was a part of me that was working very hard to engineer staying small, staying right under the radar. But I want to talk about what Ive learned.　　Theres two things that Ive learned in the last year. The first is: vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.Let me ask you honestly -- and Ill give you this warning, Im trained as a therapist, so I can out-wait you uncomfortably -- so if you could just raise your hand that would be awesome -- how many of you honestly, when youre thinking about doing or saying something vulnerable think, God, vulnerability is weakness. How many of you think of vulnerability and weakness synonymously The majority of people. Now let me ask you this question: This past week at TED, how many of you, when you saw vulnerability up here, thought it was pure courage Vulnerability is not weakness. I define vulnerability as emotional risk, exposure, uncertainty. It fuels our daily lives. And Ive come to the belief -- this is my 12th year doing this research -- that vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage -- to be vulnerable, to let ourselves be seen, to be honest.　　One of the weird things thats happened is, after the TED explosion, I got a lot of offers to speak all over the country -- everyone from schools and parent meetings to Fortune 500 companies. And so many of the calls went like this, Dr. Brown, we loved your TED talk.Wed like you to come in and speak. Wed appreciate it if you wouldnt mention vulnerability or shame.　　What would you like for me to talk about Theres three big answers. This is mostly, to be honest with you, from the business sector:innovation, creativity and change.　　So let me go on the record and say, vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.　　To create is to make something that has never existed before. Theres nothing more vulnerable than that. Adaptability to change is all about vulnerability.　　The second thing, in addition to really finally understanding the relationship between vulnerability and courage, the second thing I learned, is this: We have to talk about shame. And Im going to be really honest with you. When I became a vulnerability researcherand that became the focus because of the TED talk -- and Im not kidding.　　Ill give you an example. About three months ago, I was in a sporting goods store buying goggles and shin guards and all the things that parents buy at 。
