Discomfort is normal, yet we avoid it at all costs. In today’s episode, we discuss a quote from Daring Greatly by Brene Brown where she talks about normalizing discomfort. I expand on the ideas shared in her book on how the modern educational system is doing a poor job of inspiring innovation and instead breeding fear and shame. If you’re a student or teacher of any kind there ought to be something you can derive from this episode, so stay tuned. How do you perceive the education system to be? What flaws does it have? How can we encourage participation, innovation, and creativity? If you're trying to find out: how to leave your comfort zone, how to be less of a perfectionist, how to have more courage, or how to feel less shame, then Daring Greatly and this episode will be of good help.  Instagram (Daily Book Content and Reviews): Click Here (some of these links may be affiliate links) The Book Basement is a five times weekly podcast that discusses and breaks down everything related to books.
