Daring greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead

 

Summary by Niklas Goeke

This book, one of Brené three New York Times bestsellers, explains how vulnerability is at the core of all feelings – not just bad ones like fear, anxiety and shame, but also good ones like love, joy, and passion.

She says that we could all use a little more vulnerability in our lives, because it’s neither bad nor good. It just is, and embracing it means being courageous.

Here are 3 lessons about vulnerability and how you can be courageous enough to step into it when you fear it the most:

1. Vulnerability means strength, not weakness.

1. Understand and verbalize your shame to make it go away.

1. Children can only become who you are, so be a role model.

Are you willing to open up and let this book into your life? I hope you are, because Brené’s ideas are very powerful.
