Publisher's Synopsis
Shame manifests itself in many ways. Addiction, perfectionism, fear and blame are just a few of the outward signs that Dr Brené Brown discovered in her 6-year study of shame's effects on women. While shame is generally thought of as an emotion sequestered in the shadows of our psyches, this title demonstrates that ways in which it is actually present in the most mundane and visible aspects of our lives - from our mental and physical health and body image to our relationships with our partners, our kids, our friends, our money, and our work.
