The Emotion Few Talk About, But Many Feel
About this episode
Brené Brown and Adam Grant discuss the impact of shame and humiliation on behavior and mental health, exploring its causes and how to manage it effectively.
From classrooms and locker rooms to workplaces and social media, Adam and Brené trace how shame and humiliation are used to control behavior and even fuel violence. They explore what causes shame, why our self-protective responses backfire, and how we can handle it more effectively. They also unpack the messy overlap between imposter syndrome and cultural pressures toward self-doubt. You can find The Curiosity Shop on YouTube and Instagram (@thecuriosityshop).
