Brené Brown
“I once heard theologian Rob Bell define despair as “the belief that tomorrow will be just like today.” When we are in struggle and/or experiencing pain, despair—that belief that there is no end to what we’re experiencing—is a desperate and claustrophobic feeling. We can’t figure a way out of or through the struggle and the suffering.”
Brené Brown, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience

Brené Brown
“When we’re faced with information that challenges what we believe, our first instinct is to make the discomfort, irritation, and vulnerability go away by resolving the dissonance. We might do this by rejecting the new information, decreasing its importance, or avoiding it altogether. “The greater the magnitude of the dissonance, the greater is the pressure to reduce dissonance.” In these challenging moments of dissonance, we need to stay curious and resist choosing comfort over courage. It’s brave to invite new information to the table, to sit with it and hear it out. It’s also rare these days.”
Brené Brown, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience

“I also learned that when you hold someone accountable for hurtful behaviors and they feel shame, that’s not the same as shaming someone. I am responsible for holding you accountable in a respectful and productive way. I’m not responsible for your emotional reaction to that accountability. Sadly, I’ve also learned that sometimes, even when the pain takes your breath away, you have to let the people you love experience the consequences of their own behavior. That one really hurts.”
Brené Brown, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience

“Awe and wonder are essential to the human experience. Wonder fuels our passion for exploration and learning, for curiosity and adventure. Researchers have found that awe “leads people to cooperate, share resources, and sacrifice for others” and causes them “to fully appreciate the value of others and see themselves more accurately, evoking humility.”
Brené Brown, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience

Brené Brown
“Across our research, nostalgia emerged as a double-edged sword, a tool for both connection and disconnection. It can be an imaginary refuge from a world we don't understand and a dog whistle used to resist important growth in families, organizations, and the broader culture and to protect power, including white supremacy.
What's spoken: I wish things were the way they used to be in the good ol' days.
What's not spoken: When people knew their places.
What's not spoken: When there was no accountability for the way my behaviors affect other people.
What's not spoken: When we ignored other people's pain if it caused us discomfort.
What's not spoken: When my authority was absolute and never challenged.”
