Summary of Daring Greatly

Daring Greatly - How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead - A Comprehensive Summary

PART 1 – WHOLEHEARTEDNESS
Wholeheartedness means that a person feels worthy even though this person, just like any other, has flaws. Wholeheartedness is about being focused on positive traits and good qualities and not being focused on a person’s shortcomings.
According to Brown, wholeheartedness is based on five ideals. The first ideal is the notion that every human being needs love and a sense of belonging, the second is that those who feel that they belong somewhere and that they are loved also believe that they are worthy. The third is about the feeling of worthiness. The author says that feeling of worthiness is built over time. The fourth is that wholehearted people want to live courageous, compassionate and connected lives. And the fifth is that people who live wholeheartedly see their vulnerabilities as catalysts for achieving courage, compassion and connection in their lives.
Furthermore, Brown says that if a person does not allow for himself or herself to be vulnerable, that person will definitely shut down from the positive things that life has for him or her.
Being vulnerable means to start doing something even when you do not know for certain that you will prevail and when a person tries to protect itself from being vulnerable, he/she does that as a measure of fear and disconnection.
