Introduction

Daring Greatly is a book by the researcher and thought leader Brené Brown. It offers a powerful new vision to provide readers with a powerful new concept. It encourages you to embrace vulnerability and imperfection greatly and live wholeheartedly. Vulnerability and shame are at the heart of Brown’s research. We have to embrace vulnerability. In doing so, we should be happier. What’s more, you should be able to forge great relationships with yourself and others. 

Unfortunately, many people believe vulnerability is a sign of weakness and failure. They see shame as a direct consequence of vulnerability. Moving past this myth makes it easier for us to try new things. This could lead to new possibilities.

Here are the ten key takeaways from Daring Greatly by Brené Brown.

StoryShot #1: Seek a Wholehearted Life, Filled with Courage, Engagement, and Purpose.

Wholeheartedness is a feeling of worth, even when you are essentially flawed. It means you focus your energy and attention on good qualities. Focus on what’s going right, instead of shortcomings.

In reality, many people end up with some notion regarding loving themselves. There’s a lot in pop culture, including songs, all meant to encourage people to be easier on themselves. Still, we are more predisposed to taking a hard stance on ourselves.

Daring Greatly shows that at the tenet of wholeheartedness are five ideals:

1. All people need love and a sense of belonging.
2. The feeling of not being worthy is central to the love we show ourselves.
3. We build a sense of worthiness over time. How we perceive and react to our experiences informs it.
4. We all want to live a life of courage, compassion, and connection at the core of our beings.
5. And finally, as a wholehearted individual, use vulnerability as a catalyst.

It should help you achieve courage, compassion, and connection.
