Splendid Book Club: Daring Greatly, Week 1 #readsplendid

Today officially kicks off the first week of the Splendid Book Club! This coming week we're reading the Introduction and Chapter 1 of Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent and Lead by Brené Brown. If you don't have the book yet, you can purchase it here. The top left photo above is from a library, so you can also check yours to see if they have a copy available.

While the reading schedule starts today, some people have already begun sharing some of their insights from the book. Here are a few shared via Twitter and Amazon Kindle with the #readsplendid hashtag:

@tayloredphoto That part stood out to me too! Isn't it crazy how top of mind our perceived shortcomings are!?!? #readsplendid

Perfect and bulletproof are seductive, but they don't exist in the human experience. #readsplendid

We can't fix people by cutting them down to size and reminding folks of their inadequacies - #readsplendid
