Daring Greatly

I definitely need to go out and buy this one.

I originally watched Brené Brown's TED Talk and wanted to read more of her work. This book takes some of the concepts discussed in the TED Talk and expounds on them. I listened to the audiobook, which was read by the author herself. Fantastic voice and personality, and very strong concepts. I want to get the book now to have and to reread some passages.

Favorite quotes:
“Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.”

“Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up.”

“When we spend our lives waiting until we're perfect or bulletproof before we walk into the arena, we ultimately sacrifice relationships and opportunities that may not be recoverable, we squander our precious time, and we turn our backs on our gifts, those unique contributions that only we can make. Perfect and bulletproof are seductive, but they don't exist in the human experience.”

“I'm not perfect and I'm not always right, but I'm here, open, paying attention, loving you, and fully engaged.”
