Just like all Brene books, part speaks completely straight to my heart, and parts I have trouble wrapping my head around.

I feel that this book is most relatable to helping managing being your own self in the current climate of the world. There are many passages that discuss how you can be true to yourself, while showing respect and understanding to those you don't agree with it. Respect--that was a big tenet in this book. You can voice your opinion and stand your truth, while respecting others. This strikes strongly to me in this political divide in the country right now. There is so much defamation and name calling on all sides. Not only that, she touches on how the use of social media can amplify this, and not just politically speaking. Brene talks about how we have divided our lives into an "us vs. them" society and how polarizing it is when we live that way, instead of finding a way to not lump people in this dichotomy.

There is a lot packed into such a small book, but I think it is a read everyone should take on.
