We're in the middle of a four-part series on three virtues that correspond to our ability to be sensitive to the transcendent: sobriety, excellence, and chastity. Excellence, as a general virtue, is in large part a response to the goodness of reality, and more particularly, a response to the good Creator of that reality. We talk about why we struggle to pursue excellence, struggling to be excellent, and next steps to take to embrace goodness.
We reference Brene Brown, and here is a link to a TED talk she gave some years ago: https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability?language=en
We also reference her book, Daring Greatly, and more generally, Crystal recommends her books: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1592408419/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1
