This is the second episode in our series on the possibilities and costs of living beyond human scale. In this episode, I talk to Dr. William Brady about his latest research on moral outrage and social media. We discuss the importance and helpfulness of moral outrage as an emotion and a catalyst for social change. AND, how dangerous things get when moral outrage is amplified by algorithms built to polarize, antogonize, and keep us engaged long enough to sell us some stuff. We also talk about how social learning (reading cues that help us feel good about ourselves and help us gauge our sense of belonging) can fuel online moral outrage, and why the way we show up online is often completely different than what we do when we’re together IRL. Last, as we head into an election year in the US, William talks about how his research team developed a polarization dictionary to identify how trolls and bots are used to intentionally create division and rage among social media users. I appreciate y’all being on this learning adventure with me and my team. I’m torn between wanting to know and not wanting to know (insert ostrich emoji). But whether we know it or not, we feel the anxiety and overwhelm associated with technology, social media, and the sheer velocity of nonstop information, so I think it’s helpful to understand why. In the spirit of trying to develop community and create a space for debate and discourse, we’re going to close comments on Instagram and Facebook, and open commenting on brenebrown.com (which is and has always been 100% ad free). Right now there’s a pretty basic commenting platform, but we’re working on new ways to support community conversations. We’ll test and learn together. ❤️

Our first podcast series kicks off with an interview with acclaimed psychotherapist Esther Perel. The topic for this first series is “Living Beyond Human Scale: The Possibilities, the Costs, and the Role of Community.” This series will be unique in that it crosses over between Unlocking Us and Dare to Lead, with discussions ranging from mental health and social media to readying a workforce (and a bunch of anxious humans) for AI. Also, rather than dropping two podcasts every week, I’ll be recording short series of 3-4 thematic podcasts that will drop several times over the course of the year. You can now listen to the new podcasts and our entire library anywhere you listen to podcasts — we’re no longer exclusive to one platform. I’d love to know what you think about the convo and any other questions you have around staying connected while living beyond human scale. Podcast comments are open on brenebrown.com ❤️

Oliver Sacks wrote: “Music can pierce the heart directly; it needs no mediation.” I love this quote, and some of the most heart-piercing music in my life comes straight out of Austin, Texas. Hello Willie, Gary Clark Jr., Lucinda Williams, and Shakey Graves — just to name a few. I’d love for y’all to join us for a special fundraiser in Austin — the “Live Music Capital of the World.” On April 2nd, two of my favorite Austin musicians, Gina Chavez and Carrie Rodriguez, will join me and “Texas Monthly’s” John Spong for a night of song and storytelling to benefit HAAM — The Health Alliance for Austin Musicians. HAAM provides access to affordable healthcare for greater Austin’s low-income, working musicians, with a focus on prevention and wellness. Many Austin musicians are self-employed and have no access to health insurance or basic healthcare. They often work multiple jobs and struggle to pay for basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter, with nothing left for healthcare. I hope you’ll join us! You can buy tickets at thelongcenter.org — all funds go directly to HAAM! Rock on.

I appreciate the difficult and rigorous debate in comments on the website. I’m listening and learning. Comments are closed here but will be open on the website for one week. My intention with the new essay and the podcasts is not to change your mind about me or to change your beliefs. My intention is to share what I’m learning for the purpose of me being a better global citizen and highlighting work that is, in my opinion, important and could make a difference in the lives of many people. It’s important to note that I’ve read every comment, and we’re not going to agree on everything. Link in profile.

Sharing my beliefs and thoughts on the Israel-Hamas war in an essay on brenebrown.com today. They don’t fit on an Instagram square, and many of you may find them naïve or conflicting or not enough. That’s OK. These ideas are based on my experiences, my faith, and my values. Link in profile.

I love Mira Jacob’s book, “Good Talk.” I finished it in one day, and I still pick it up as a reminder and reference book. This quote from her High Five interview is exactly what the book delivers: “I wanted to talk about this very unglamorous, hard-to-define thing, which was how beautiful and hilarious and terrible and heartbreaking everyday conversations can be with the people you love.” Somehow the hard-to-define messiness of everyday conversations feels better when you know you’re not alone. Thank you, @goodtalkthanks . You can find the link to the interview in my profile. 📸 by @tazzystar

Last summer, I received a flurry of texts from my fashionista friends that were all some version of, “OMG! @thebemagugu reads your books!” It turns out that he mentioned reading them in an interview for @britishvogue . It took me 20 seconds to fall in love with him and his breathtaking work! It took another 10 seconds to call my team and say, “We have to do a Daring Interview with him for the ABK Edit!” His words are as beautiful as his designs! If you know him, you’ll love this interview. You can find the link in my profile. If this is your introduction — you’re welcome! The stunning photography is by @travysowen .

I can’t wait for y’all to meet one of my creative loves — Fort Lonesome! They’re featured on the ABK Edit today. This quote from Kathie Sever, the @ftlonesome founder, is so powerful. And when it comes to our creations, it’s very tough to NOT personalize. Check out the ABK Edit on brenebrown.com. The link is in profile (and we’re so proud of this new content). See you on the flip side of the ego-landscaping! Slide one: 📸 by @minkmade Slide two: 📸 by @wynnmyers

I thought it was a break but it was more of a breaking. Not necessarily breaking down, but NOT not down. Maybe open. It’s been a tough season, but an important one. I shared my thoughts in a post, “Hard Seasons and Wild Hearts,” on the new website, where you’ll also find our latest project — The ABK Edit. I think you’re going to love the stories. You can find the link in my profile. From my wild heart to yours. ❤️

Our organization-wide book read for February is “One Drop: Shifting the Lens on Race” by @yabablay . This book shattered so much of what I was taught about the history of Blackness as an identity, and it opened my eyes to the breadth and depth of the lived Black experience. It moved me in a serious way. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I first read it and talked to Yaba on “Unlocking Us.” I can’t encourage you enough to add this to your book club reading list. It’s especially powerful when read and discussed in community. Thank you for your fearless work, Yaba.
