To say this book has been transformational for me is perhaps an understatement. It is food for the soul and will reach into my personal life as well as my professional life. I think this book is a great starting point to get into Brené Brown's work (or search her TED Talk on YouTube), and if you feel as inspired as I have you might look into some of her other work such as The Gifts of Imperfection, and her newest book, Rising Strong. The themes that stick out most to me from Daring Greatly are the importance of human connection, vulnerability, and the desire to live and love wholeheartedly. A few favorite quotes:
"Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, it's understanding the necessity of both."
"Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of worthiness."
"Love and belonging are irreducible needs all men, women, and children. It is what gives our lives purpose and meaning."
