1. Brené Brown on The Power of Vulnerability
Brené dispeled the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argued that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. She explained how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief and disappointment and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation and creativity.
“Brave is never comfortable. Sometimes the bravest thing I do is saying no.” ~ @BreneBrown #EWLive13 #livestream

2. Elizabeth Gilbert on Big Magic: Thoughts on Creative Living
The first and scariest step is this: believing there is magic in our lives. Elizabeth Gilbert explored how we can overcome our preconceptions to embrace the irrational but beautiful notions of kismet, synchronicity, and hidden messages that lead us on our true path.

Eve Ensler, a fearless champion of women spoke about themes from her most recent memoir, a meditation on separation and connection—to the body, the self, and the world. Eve has devoted her life to the female body—how to talk about it, how to protect and value it.
