Okay, I'm going to name a person or character, and you tell me how they could have been more vulnerable.

Inspector Javert.

I mean, that guy definitely had a pet cat die when he was young and then just took it out on the world for the rest of his life.

I think if he were vulnerable, he would just admit he likes stars and not pretend it's about

justice.

Oh, that would be amazing.

If that song had like seven other verses.

For example, Polaris.

Stars, I love you for justice. Stars.

I love you for justice.

Another fun fact, the sun is also a star.

I know that for police reasons. Hey, everyone.

So if you're like me, you may not be vulnerable very often.

And sometimes it seems like you're about to be vulnerable,

but it's actually the setup for a joke, which is objectively hilarious.

And I think Umi finds it funny in her own secret, not

laughy way. Well, I read this book about vulnerability a few months ago, and now we're going to

podcast about it. Kind of like if on December 26th, Scrooge gave a seminar about being good.

So it's the Gifts of Imperfection by Brne Brown.

And this is The Book File.

A podcast about the best of books and the worst of books.

If this is your first time of the podcast, welcome.
