Vulnerability is the only path to more love, belonging, and joy

Listen the first key point

What do people with strong relationships do? Whether they are parents with deeper connections with their wards or teachers nurturing creativity and knowledge in a child's life, these people are never afraid to lean in to discomfort. They have the power of emotion.

Satisfying experiences are linked to being vulnerable. Consequently, we must be willing to forge the courage necessary to embrace vulnerability. This courage is born in the middle of the struggle as we grapple with our values and regain our emotions.
Rising strong after a fall is how we cultivate wholeheartedness in our lives; it is the process that teaches us the most about who we are. ~ Dr. Brené Brown
Rising Strong means cultivating the courage, connection, and compassion to wake up in the morning feeling satisfied with our lives, no matter how our day turns out to be.
Living wholeheartedly is defined as the process of engaging our lives from a place of worthiness.
If we put ourselves out there and love with our whole hearts, we are going to experience heartbreak. It doesn't matter what we are struggling with; if we can learn how to feel our way through experience and own our struggles and stories, we can write our brave endings.

The goal of this summary is to slow down the process of falling and rising, to bring into awareness the choices that unfold in front of us during moments of discomfort, and to explore the consequences of these choices. A three-step procedure was described by Dr. Brown:
• Reckoning
• Rumbling
• Revolution

She shares how permission slips can help in recognizing your feelings, developing awareness, and adjusting your expectations to enable you to rise after a fall.
second key point

There are two dangerous outcomes of our failure

Gold plating grit and a Badassery deficit are two dangerous outcomes of failure. Gold plating grit is an act of embracing failure without acknowledging the fear and the real hurt it causes or even the complex journey toward rising again. Badassery deficit refers to the failure to wade into discomfort and vulnerability and neglecting to tell the truth about your story.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
