The talk itself was nice, I'm not refuting that. But if you want more depth than the surface ideas presented you really should look into the author and the research she has done. I say "surface ideas" because that's what I conclude them to be after reading a few of her books. In fact, the author herself mentioned in an audio podcast that when she was asked to do the TED talk, there were restrictions placed on what she was to present (content and language use) and so she ended up attempting to string the core concepts of her research together under such conditions (tip-toeing around the core concepts). While stuttering can often come with anxiety, feelings of incompetence, and lack of power (to name a few), these forms of issues apply not just to stuttering may also be applied to any form of social interaction. Stuttering is just one of the many social factors, but despite being one in many, it is still a relevant one (hence why there is structure in place to aid those who experience stuttering like this subreddit). Anyways, tldr: Brené Brown is a good author to read for all audiences. :)
