20 quotes from Albert Einstein

The book emphasizes the importance of embracing vulnerability as a source of strength and connection. It encourages readers to lean into vulnerability and be authentic in their relationships and endeavors.

Embrace Vulnerability 

Brené Brown introduces the concept of shame resilience, which involves recognizing shame, challenging its power, and cultivating self-compassion. Building resilience helps individuals navigate shame and develop a healthier self-image.

Shame Resil

"Daring Greatly" emphasizes the role of courage in vulnerability. It encourages readers to step outside their comfort zones, take risks, and face uncertainty with bravery. Courage is seen as essential for personal growth and wholehearted living.

The Power Of Courage 

The book explores the concept of wholehearted living, which involves embracing imperfections, cultivating self-compassion, and living with authenticity and vulnerability. It encourages readers to let go of societal expectations and live in alignment with their true selves.

Wholehearted Living

"Daring Greatly" highlights the vulnerability paradox—our fear of vulnerability and desire for connection. The book explores how vulnerability can lead to deeper connections and relationships when we dare to show up authentically and be seen.

The Vulnerability Paradox

Brené Brown emphasizes the importance of empathy and compassion in fostering healthy relationships. The book provides insights on cultivating empathy, practicing active listening, and developing stronger connections with others.

Cultivating Empathy & Compassion 

The book discusses the importance of creating shame-proof environments in our personal and professional lives. It explores strategies for promoting open communication, empathy, and vulnerability in relationships, families, and organizations.

Shame Proofing Environment 

The #1 New York Times bestseller. More than 2 million copies sold! Look for Brené Brown’s new podcast, Dare to Lead, as well as her ongoing podcast Unlocking Us! From thought leader Brené Brown, a transformative new vision for the way we lead, love, work, parent, and educate that teaches us the power of vulnerability.   “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 the 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 Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on twelve years of pioneering research, Brené Brown PhD, MSW, dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity. She writes: “When we shut ourselves off from vulnerability, we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.” Daring Greatly is not about winning or losing. It’s about courage. In a world where “never enough” dominates and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive. Uncomfortable. It’s even a little dangerous at times. And, without question, putting ourselves out there means there’s a far greater risk of getting criticized or feeling hurt. But when we step back and examine our lives, we will find that nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous, and hurtful as standing on the outside of our lives looking in and wondering what it would be like if we had the courage to step into the arena—whether it’s a new relationship, an important meeting, the creative process, or a difficult family conversation. Daring Greatly is a practice and a powerful new vision for letting ourselves be seen.

**Now on Netflix as The Call to Courage** 'She's so good, Brené Brown, at finding the language to articulate collective feeling' Dolly Alderton Every time we are faced with change, no matter how great or small, we also face risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight those feelings - or feel guilt for feeling them in the first place. In a powerful new vision Dr Brené Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - from revealing our true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of groundbreaking social research, across every area of our lives including home, relationships, work, and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.

Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Foundation – Brené Brown Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work. Brené is also a visiting professor in management at The University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business. She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy and is the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers: The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness, and her latest book, Dare to Lead.Brené hosts the Unlocking Us Podcast and the Dare to Lead Podcast. Her TED talk – The Power of Vulnerability – is one of the top five most viewed TED talks in the world with over 50 million views.

Daring Greatly

Rather than seeing obstacles as negative setbacks, this book encourages you to view them as opportunities for growth and learning. Embrace challenges and see them as a chance to develop resilience and find new paths to success.

Embrace obstacles

Our perception of events and obstacles greatly influences our response to them. By adopting a positive and empowered mindset, we can reframe difficulties as stepping stones toward progress. Choose to see obstacles as opportunities rather than insurmountable barriers.

Perception Is key

Instead of getting overwhelmed or paralyzed by obstacles, the book emphasizes the importance of taking action. Break down the challenges into manageable steps, and consistently move forward. Action is often the antidote to fear and stagnation.

Take Decisive 

The book highlights the significance of persistence in the face of obstacles. Cultivate a mindset of perseverance and commit to staying the course, even when faced with setbacks or adversity. It's through perseverance that we build resilience and achieve success.

Persistence & Perseverance 

Obstacles can inspire innovative thinking. The book encourages thinking outside the box and finding creative solutions to overcome challenges. Instead of giving up, seek alternative approaches, adapt your strategies, and explore unconventional paths to success.

Find Creative Solutions 

Obstacles provide opportunities to develop strength, character, and skills. They can be catalysts for personal growth and self-improvement. Embrace the lessons that challenges offer and use them as stepping stones to become a better version of yourself.

Use Obstacles As Opportunity Of Growth 

Amidst difficulties, it's crucial to maintain control over your emotions and reactions. The book emphasizes the importance of staying calm and composed in the face of adversity. By practicing emotional resilience, you can make clearer decisions and navigate obstacles more effectively.

Maintain Control Of Your Emotions

We give up too easily. With a simple change of attitude, what seem like insurmountable obstacles become once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Ryan Holiday, who dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to bestselling 'modern Machiavelli' Robert Greene and is now a media consultant for billion-dollar brands, draws on the philosophy of the Stoics to guide you in every situation, showing that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better.If the competition threatens you, it's time to be fearless, to display your courage. An impossible deadline becomes a chance to show how dedicated you are. And as Ryan discovered as Director of Marketing for American Apparel, if your brand is generating controversy - it's also potentially generating publicity.The Stoic philosophy - that what is in the way, is the way - can be applied to any problem: it's a formula invented more than 2,000 years ago, whose effectiveness has been proven in battles and board rooms ever since. From Barack Obama's ability to overcome obstacles in his election races, to the design of the iPhone, the stoic philosophy has helped its users become world-beaters.

#1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller The Obstacle is the Way has become a cult classic, beloved by men and women around the world who apply its wisdom to become more successful at whatever they do. Its many fans include a former governor and movie star (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a hip hop icon (LL Cool J), an Irish tennis pro (James McGee), an NBC sportscaster (Michele Tafoya), and the coaches and players of winning teams like the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Cubs, and University of Texas men’s basketball team. The book draws its inspiration from stoicism, the ancient Greek philosophy of enduring pain or adversity with perseverance and resilience. Stoics focus on the things they can control, let go of everything else, and turn every new obstacle into an opportunity to get better, stronger, tougher. As Marcus Aurelius put it nearly 2000 years ago: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”  Ryan Holiday shows us how some of the most successful people in history—from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs—have applied stoicism to overcome difficult or even impossible situations. Their embrace of these principles ultimately mattered more than their natural intelligence, talents, or luck. If you’re feeling frustrated, demoralized, or stuck in a rut, this book can help you turn your problems into your biggest advantages. And along the way it will inspire you with dozens of true stories of the greats from every age and era.

Ryan Holiday is media strategist for notorious clients like Tucker Max and Dov Charney. After dropping out of college at 19 to apprentice under the strategist Robert Greene, he went on to advise many bestselling authors and multi-platinum musicians. He is the Director of Marketing at American Apparel, where his work in advertising was internationally known. His strategies are used as case studies by Twitter, YouTube, and Google, and have been written about in AdAge, the New York Times, Gawker, and Fast Company. He is the author is *Trust Me, I'm Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator*, which is due out in July. He currently lives in New Orleans, with his rebellious puppy, Hanno.

The Obstacle Is the Way

The Obstacle is the Way

Recognize that discipline is a journey, and setbacks are a natural part of the process. Instead of aiming for perfection, celebrate the progress your child makes in managing their behavior and emotions. Encourage their efforts and provide support as they learn and grow.

Focus on progress, not perfection

The authors highlight the importance of repetition and practice when it comes to behavior change. By consistently reinforcing positive behaviors, you help children develop new neural pathways, making those behaviors more likely to occur in the future.

Use "neurons that fire together, wire together"

Establishing predictable routines and structures can provide a sense of security and help prevent behavior problems. Consistency in daily routines, such as mealtimes, bedtime, and homework, helps children develop self-discipline and reduces the need for constant discipline.

Implement consistent routines

Instead of focusing solely on the surface behavior, try to identify the underlying needs that may be driving your child's actions. By addressing these needs, you can help prevent future misbehavior and support your child's emotional well-being.

Recognize the underlying needs

View discipline as a chance for your child to develop important life skills, such as problem-solving, self-control, and empathy. Instead of just addressing the immediate behavior, guide them towards understanding the impact of their actions and finding constructive solutions.

Use discipline as an opportunity for growth

Involve your child in the discipline process by encouraging open communication, active listening, and collaborative problem-solving. When children feel heard and valued, they become more invested in finding solutions and taking responsibility for their actions.

Emphasize collaboration and problem-solving

Self-care is an integral part of effective parenting and discipline. Recognize when you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed and take steps to recharge and care for your own well-being. By prioritizing self-care, you'll be better equipped to handle challenging situations with your child.

Take care of yourself

A breakfast bowl gets thrown across the kitchen, splattering milk and cereal all over the wall. One of your kids threatens a younger sibling. You get a call from the principal's office for the third time this month. What do you do? Often, parenting is treated like some form of manipulation or behavioural coercion that must be kept secret from children. No-Drama Discipline, instead, is based on recent discoveries about the brain that give us deep insights into the children we care for, what they need, and how to discipline them in ways that foster optimal development. It offers a 'relational' approach that builds on children's innate desire to please their parents and get along well with others. Following the same successful formula that made The Whole-Brain Child a bestseller, No-Drama Discipline presents clear messages in a practical and inviting format to communicate its core concepts and practices. You can discipline your children in a way that's high on relationship-building, high on respect, and low on drama and conflict. As a result, your life as a parent will be easier, and your parenting will become more effective. And more importantly, you'll create connections in your children's brains to build emotional and social skills that will serve them now and throughout their entire life -- all while strengthening your relationship with them.

The Backwards Law suggests that when you try to avoid failure at all costs, you often end up experiencing more of it. Instead, embrace failure as a stepping stone to success. Take risks, learn from your mistakes, and use failure as an opportunity for growth.

Embrace Failure

The more you try to control every aspect of your life, the more elusive control becomes. Instead, practice surrendering and accepting that you cannot control everything. Trust in the process, let go of the need for certainty, and find freedom in embracing the unpredictable nature of life.

Let Go of Control

Paradoxically, the more you actively pursue happiness, the more elusive it becomes. Instead of constantly seeking happiness, focus on finding meaning and purpose in your life. Engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment, but also embrace the full range of human emotions, recognizing that happiness is not a constant state.

Pursue Happiness Less

The Backwards Law suggests that when you try to appear strong and invulnerable, you often become more weak and isolated. Instead, embrace vulnerability and authenticity in your relationships. Open up to others, express your true feelings, and allow yourself to be seen and understood. True strength comes from being vulnerable and connecting with others.

Embrace Vulnerability

The Backwards Law proposes that when you try to avoid discomfort and seek constant comfort, you often end up feeling more dissatisfied. Instead, embrace discomfort and lean into challenging situations. Growth and personal development often come from stepping outside of your comfort zone and facing adversity head-on.

Embrace Discomfort

The Backwards Law suggests that when you neglect self-care and put others' needs before your own, you often end up feeling depleted and unfulfilled. Instead, prioritize self-care and make your well-being a priority. Set boundaries, practice self-compassion, and invest time and energy in activities that nourish your mind, body, and soul.

Prioritize Self-Care

The Backwards Law proposes that when you strive for perfection, you often feel more inadequate. Instead, embrace imperfection and accept that you are human. Celebrate your strengths, but also acknowledge your limitations and mistakes. Embrace the beauty of being imperfect and focus on self-acceptance and self-love.

Embrace Imperfection

Embracing the Backwards Law for a Life of Paradoxical Wisdom.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Discovering your purpose is not about finding something external, but rather uncovering the unique gifts and passions within you that can impact the world.

Discovery

Life gains its deepest meaning and fulfillment when we align our actions with a purpose greater than ourselves.

Align

Your purpose is not determined by your circumstances; it is found in the depths of your heart and the calling of your soul.

Listen To The Soul

Every person has a vital role to play in the grand tapestry of life. Discovering your purpose is realizing the significance of your part in the greater whole.

Your Part

The search for purpose begins with a willingness to ask the question: 'What on Earth am I here for?' and a commitment to seek the answer with an open heart and mind.

Ask Yourself

Your purpose may evolve and change over time, but its essence remains rooted in bringing love, joy, and positive transformation to the world.

Fact

Discovering your purpose requires self-reflection, deep introspection, and a willingness to question the status quo.

Self-

Don't be afraid to take risks and step outside your comfort zone, for it is in those moments of stretching that you may uncover your true purpose.

Courage 

Let go of the fear of failure and embrace the learning that comes with it. Your purpose may unfold through the lessons learned in moments of perceived setbacks.
