In researching shame, or what she refers to as the fear of disconnection♦, Brown found that people fell into one of two categories. They either had a strong sense of love and belonging or struggled to find it. The only thing that divided the groups was that the former simply felt that they were worthy of love and belonging. This feeling of worthiness♦ served as a stepping stone♦ for many more positive qualities.

在研究羞恥（或是她所稱的「害怕失去連結」）中，布朗發現人可以分成兩種類型。他們若不是擁有強烈的愛與歸屬感，就是很難找到這種感覺。這兩個群組間的唯一區別在於前者單純地覺得自己值得擁有愛與歸屬。這種覺得自己值得的感覺是通往許多正向特質的途徑。

Brown explained that this group, knowing that they belonged, had the courage to be imperfect. Furthermore, this allowed them to be kind to themselves and compassionate towards others. They were also able to fully embrace vulnerability because they believed that what made them vulnerable was what made them beautiful.

布朗解釋道，這個知道自己有歸屬的群組有勇氣做一個不完美的人。此外，這讓他們能善待自己並對他人有同情心。他們也能夠完全欣然接受脆弱，因為他們相信使他們脆弱的部分正是讓他們美麗的部分。

Initially, Brown was confused by this because she had associated vulnerability with fear and shame. However, her research showed that it was also an important part of attaining joy and love. Investigating this further, Brown realized that when people try to control or fight vulnerability, they block their emotions, personal growth, and sense of self. What Brown wants people to do is accept that they are vulnerable and believe that they are enough. By doing so, people then become kinder and nicer to each other as well as themselves.

起初，布朗對這點感到疑惑，因為她當時把脆弱與恐懼和羞恥聯想在一起。然而，她的研究顯示，那也是獲得喜悅與愛的重要部分。在對此更深入的研究中，布朗了解到人們在試圖控制或是對抗脆弱時，他們會屏蔽自己的情緒、個人成長及自我感。布朗希望人們能做的就是接受自己脆弱的事實，並相信自己已經夠好了。藉此，他們便能對彼此、也對自己更加仁慈與友好。
