This book clarifies the distinction between these feelings, describes the different forms of armor we wear, and discusses how building shame resilience and daring greatly are critical to forming deeper and more meaningful connections with the people around us.
Tremendous insight into our own inner critic and interaction with people.
This book has had a profound impact for years now on how I look at myself and those around me.
I feel I was able to apply a lot of it to my day to day family life.
Daring Greatly by Brené Brown - discussion of shame culture, its effects on people, and how to combat it - pretty good book about a topic that doesn't get raised often enough, even if I don't agree with everything the author says.
