Gus · Self-Help & Personal Growth
Daring Greatly
by Brené Brown
Three key ideas
- Vulnerability means taking part despite uncertainty or emotional exposure.
- Shame judges the whole person; accountability focuses on a specific behavior and a possible repair.
- Perfectionism, emotional distance, and cynicism can shield you but limit creativity and connection.
The five 2-minute lessons
- 1.Take part, even when unsure
- 2.Own the mistake, not the shame
- 3.Spot your armor, price its cost
- 4.Pick your audience, then open up
- 5.Practice courage in small moments
From the comic
I will ask about this possible flaw once my certainty is monumental.
