Brene Brown uses the Buddhist metaphor of 'Strong back, soft front' to describe wise living. Many people think a strong back requires a hard front—armor, defensiveness, cynicism. But Brown teaches that true strength allows us to keep a soft front—to remain open, empathetic, and vulnerable—because our back (our boundaries, integrity, and values) is strong enough to hold us up. Wisdom is knowing we don't have to shut down to be safe.
