I need to quote this whole book, possibly print it out and paper my walls with it. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.” —Theodore Roosevelt Asamoah https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13588356-daring-greatly?ac=1&from_search=true The author researches the concept of "shame" and the effects it has on people and communities and it is like she's shining a light on everything we have known but haven't been able to articulate. Why does a company fall to pieces when the new CEO denigrates their managers? Why does a community become aggressive when it's leaders fail to demonstrate they care about the people? Brown makes the point that our fear of being rejected makes us close ourselves up, but without that vulnerability we can be neither hurt nor loved and deep down as we hide we hold onto the belief that we will *not* be loved if we showed ourselves so it's as if we've already lost the battle! Highly recommended if you're interested in psychology, sociology and how we relate to each other. #recs --- In the spirit of daring... Do you dare tell me three things you like about yourself? No matter how silly, it's important to remind ourselves and I want to know how you shine! :)
