There is a constant barrage of social expectations that teach us that being imperfect is synonymous with being inadequate. Everywhere we turn, there are messages that tell us who, what and how we're supposed to be. So, we learn to hide our struggles and protect ourselves from shame, judgment, criticism and blame by seeking safety in pretending and perfection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBren  Brown, PhD, LMSW, is the leading authority on the power of vulnerability, and has inspired thousands through her top-selling books \u003ci\u003eDaring Greatly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRising Strong\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Gifts of Imperfection\u003c\/i\u003e, her wildly popular TEDx talks, and a PBS special. Based on seven years of her ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, \u003ci\u003eI Thought It Was Just Me\u003c\/i\u003e shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrown writes, \"We need our lives back. It's time to reclaim the gifts of imperfection--the courage to be real, the compassion we need to love ourselves and others, and the connection that gives true purpose and meaning to life. These are the gifts that bring love, laughter, gratitude, empathy and joy into our lives.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrené Brown\u003c\/b\u003e is a research professor at the University of Houston, where she holds the Huffington Foundation-Brené Brown Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work.
