Summary of Brené Brown's Daring Greatly - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The world is full of narcissists. People think what they're doing is important, but researchers and helping professionals are finding that the incidence of narcissistic personality disorder has more than doubled in the last ten years. #2 The term narcissism is used to describe a pattern of grandiosity, a lack of empathy, and a constant need for admiration.
However, what people miss is that every level of severity in this diagnosis is underpinned by shame. #3 We must understand the patterns of behaviors that lead to narcissism, but we must also understand that those patterns are caused by the fear of being ordinary. We must understand that we are all vulnerable to the messages that drive these behaviors. #4 The environment that is shaping our culture right now is the culture of scarcity.
It explains why we're seeing so many people with narcissistic personality disorder, and it provides a clear view of the thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that are changing who we are and how we live.
