3.5. First half was beneficial, second half felt less coherent, especially when she started talking about religion and using that to further her ideas. I think she was trying to say that religion and spirituality gave her community and allowed her to practice gratitude, but it stopped being helpful when she kept bringing it up. The last half also felt like she didn’t know how to end the book or tie it into the topic, but I still think her points were valid, re: taking care of ourselves physically and mentally and not exhausting ourselves is how we make sure we are our best.

Gut punch and reality check on the high expectations I hold for myself and the ways to best equip and cope with them. Brown is a kind friend who loves us all.

Brenè, tvb.
Soprattutto per tutta quella questione del ballare da soli.

I think this is one that has to simmer for a while because it’s more of a change in thinking AND action than just “do this”. This is my first Brené Brown and I definitely tabbed a lot to come back to again.
