Summary of 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.

CONCLUSION

SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

Daring Greatly is a book written by researcher Brene Brown. The main subject of this book deals with is something that some people may find odd. This book deals with the subject of vulnerability, and what is even more interesting and intriguing is that the author points to vulnerability as something positive.

Brown suggests that vulnerability can be used to benefit human lives, because by being vulnerable and by risking being hurt or by risking of failure, we also open doors to countless possibilities in our lives. Most people perceive vulnerability as a sign of something bad, and by exposing this myth Brown tries to help her readers to understand that being vulnerable is also the way of taking the best of what life has to offer each and every one of us.

The author also talks about connection between shame and vulnerability and explains it fairly thoroughly. She explains how people tend to shield themselves from accepting their own vulnerability as something normal and beneficial for their lives.

Daring Greatly is another great work from Brene Brown, the one that will serve to open eyes of many people and show them new ways and new perceptions of things that they feared of or rejected before.

SUMMARY

PART 2 – BEING VULNERABLE=LIVING SCARCE?

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.

It is also important to note that those people who allow for themselves to be vulnerable are strong, but often society perceives these people as radical and weak.

People avoid showing their vulnerabilities to other people because they certainly do not want to be perceived as weak or unsuccessful. The author puts forth the idea that being vulnerable is actually a display of strength because it opens people to new possibilities and new relationships, but this idea is still rejected by many people.

But there is one more interesting fact.

Even though many people do not want to be open to being vulnerable, those people still admire those people who decide to show their vulnerabilities to the outside. This is why people adore movies and books about protagonists that take on major challenges even though they know that it is most likely that they will fail.

PART 3 – MYTHS AND VULNERABILITY

PART 2 – BEING VULNERABLE=LIVING SCARCE?

Here the author explains how people focus too much of their time and energy on thinking how they never have enough and believing that they live a life of scarcity. People have an unrealistic view of life and spend too much time thinking about what other people have and what they do not have.

But this is also debilitating, because when we compare our lives to how other people live their own lives, most of the time we will think for ourselves that we live perfect lives. This is also strengthened by the fact that mass media is responsible for the distorted picture of what most people think that perfect life means.

The antidote for this mess is wholeheartedness, a healthy and realistic perception that each person is worthy and that each person is good enough. Scarcity is the opposite of this, because scarcity forces people to think that they are just not good enough for something/someone.

It would also be very easy to make the assumption that only people in societies with upward mobility would think in a ‘scarce’ kind of way.

Here the author mentions an example of 18 th century Japanese peasants, nobility and samurai. It would be pointless for peasants to compare themselves with noblemen and samurai, because peasants never got a chance to become noblemen or samurai warriors. While peasants had less than noblemen and samurai, they could compare themselves to other peasants and then it would be visible that some peasants had more or less than other peasants.

This explains that the problem of scarcity applies even when society is so stratified that some classes will never achieve what other classes can achieve.
