Daring Greatly

by Brené Brown

Three key ideas

  1. Vulnerability means taking part despite uncertainty or emotional exposure.
  2. Shame judges the whole person; accountability focuses on a specific behavior and a possible repair.
  3. Perfectionism, emotional distance, and cynicism can shield you but limit creativity and connection.

The five 2-minute lessons

  1. 1.Take part, even when unsure
  2. 2.Own the mistake, not the shame
  3. 3.Spot your armor, price its cost
  4. 4.Pick your audience, then open up
  5. 5.Practice courage in small moments

From the comic

I will ask about this possible flaw once my certainty is monumental.
