Daring Greatly is not about winning or losing, it's about courage. In a world where scarcity and shame dominate and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive. Uncomfortable. It's even a little dangerous at times.....
Nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous and hurtful as believing that I am standing on the outside of my life looking in and wondering what it would be like if I had the courage to show up and let myself be seen.

(Read as audiobook) (would give 3.5 if i could do 1/2 stars) Defintally some helpful tips for dealing wt shame and making sure to end the cycle. Some of it was defintally geared to heterosexual ppl and parents which made it difficult for me personally to relate to but that is just bc i was prob not the target demographic. There was a weird pt at the end where the choice of vaccinating ur children was conflated wt choicing what shows they can watch which ik this was written a bit ago but concidering we r living through a pandemic it made me a bit uncomfy (it was only a very small pt of the book but since it was towards the end and given the current cercumstances of the world i was defintally aware if it and it broke the flow of my reading a little). I would defintally re-read aspects of this book again to incorrporate into my daily life but prob not re-read the whole book.
I took me a while to finish this one. There’s a lot to digest so it was a slower read, but I really wanted to understand and sit with what I was reading. I’ve seen some critical reviews that say it’s redundant, etc but I think there are some very valid points in it. I didn’t expect the parenting chapter to resonate with me as much as it did, but it helps you realize how much of your childhood and upbringing shoes your way of thinking as an adult. Overall I would recommend this book.

I love the title of this book, I love its content, I love the benefits that I have reaped for myself and my relationships from it. As I dove into the pages, I realized I had in fact grown up in a shame-and-blame culture. Worse, I've used those tactics in myself in moments of insecurity. I didn't feel trapped in that knowledge, though; Brene's "ninja moves" for stepping into vulnerability are wonderful. I too am now on this journey of learning that "I can be loved for my vulnerabilities, not despite them." *Note: the one detractor in this book for me was the language. I didn't personally enjoy reading ****, etc every few pages, and I found it distracting.

Redundant at times but sooo many inspiring and reflective nuggets of wisdom regarding shame, guilt, gratitude and how men and women experience them differently.
