Bestselling Author Brené Brown: What the World Cup Reveals About Courage, Vulnerability & America

! youtube.com/channel/UCwWgXewMHxlPkP5FkxoZvKQ

What can football teach us about courage, vulnerability, and what it means to belong?

Brené Brown joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on why the beautiful game brings out the very best—and sometimes the worst—in all of us. From the electric atmosphere of this summer's tournament to the psychology of playing to win instead of playing not to lose, Brené explores how football reflects the way we live our lives.

We also dive into collective joy, the anticipation of happiness, Balogun's red card, politics intersecting with sport, why so many fans are falling in love with America, and whether football can actually make us better people.
