Labeling her stuff as "pop psychology" is, imho, a very unwarranted derisive blast.
1. The research proves her points as her points are extremely actuarially derived.
2. The implications are solid and applicable in millions of lives in Western culture and actually, around the world. i.e. her findings offer great analysis as well as great prescriptions for better personal psychology and better personal relationships.
Dismissing it all as 'pop psychology' could easily rob many folks of the chance to profit extensively from her findings and conclusions.
I've read tons of psychology over 3-4 decades. My housemate has read tons more and more smack in the middle of Brene Brown's favorite topics. We both rate her stuff as among the cream of the crop in the whole field over many decades.
Googled Bene Brown. She’s associated with Huffington Post. She’s obviously a faggot tool.
