A long-awaited Japanese translation of a bestseller by a popular professor at the University of Houston! It's scary to get hurt. It's infuriating to be criticized. It's embarrassing to fail. I can't show my true self. Living in a vulnerable world, we are forced to confront our own "weaknesses" and "vulnerabilities" by various everyday occurrences. If we turn away from our weaknesses, we become indifferent to all other wonderful things in life and lose the ability to experience vivid emotions. The author, a popular professor at the University of Houston who has long studied human vulnerability, also could not admit her own "emotional vulnerability" until recently. However, she eventually realized that by constantly protecting her emotions with masks and armor, it becomes difficult to build trusting relationships with others and makes her own life bland. From there, the author struggles repeatedly to admit her own emotional vulnerability and become a truly strong and kind person. This book is filled with many of the author's raw episodes, as well as numerous real-life examples from various people the author has interviewed. The more you read, the more you will feel as if it is written about you. Please receive the author's robust message, which also caused a sensation at TED with a speech on the same theme as this book.
