Brené Brown on the Value of Vulnerability: Book Insights on Daring Greatly by Brené Brown

*A culture in which so many people believe they are not enough – not successful enough, thin enough, powerful enough, smart enough, extraordinary enough, or certain enough – is a “culture of scarcity”, Brown writes in Daring Greatly. 

*Preoccupied by what society perceives to be deficiencies, we find it a challenge to say “I am worthy.”  And we find it difficult to take risks, social, emotional, and professional. 

*Yet accepting our vulnerability and viewing it as a strength – learning to “dare greatly,” or dare anything at all – is the only way we can become what we were meant to be.
