Sober AF, Michael Scott Phobia, and How to Politely End a Conversation
About this episode
Brené Brown shares her journey to 30 years of sobriety and discusses the challenges of social interactions with Adam Grant.
Marking a major personal milestone, Brené shares what led her to 30 years of sobriety and Adam asks what it taught her about change. From there, they pivot to why Brené can’t tolerate the cringe of The Office —and Adam’s take on how to engage with it. Finally, they deliver a masterclass on the art and science of ending social interactions, sharing the ultimate shortcut to a graceful exit. This is great!
