Good thoughts about what you’re aiming for in wholehearted living - which is how I want to live. She’s very open to other religions being equal, so that’s a piece missing to me, adding Christian interpretation and meaning to how to live fully and abundantly.

Might be a 2.5
I just don’t think I gained much from this. This is the second self-help book I’ve read and both of them felt so vague. It made me feel more put-together in the moment, but I don’t think much of it will stick with me. I guess these types of books are just not my thing.
That being said, I think it’s interesting that Brown researches shame, and I wouldn’t be against looking into more of her research; I’m also still curious to read Atlas of the Heart.

Not enough practical application which is what I was looking for
I LOVE the 10 guideposts and refer back to them often. This is a nightstand book. I listened to the audiobook and read along in the book as well to mark up pages. I like that Brene Brown later recognized her privilege and wrote a follow up book, You Are Your Best Thing with multiple authors of color (Jason Reynolds, Austin Channing Brown, Luvvie Ajayi Jones) about the impact of white supremacy on Black vulnerability.
