Summary of Curt Thompson's The Soul of Shame

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The biochemistry was finally proven. The elegant hypothesis was proven correct. But the result also proved the hypothesis wrong. The pastor had been sleeping with several women, and when he was confronted, he could not admit to the affair. His life was unraveling faster than he could have imagined.

#2 Shame is the lowest common denominator in human relationships, and it can be found in all of us. It is something we all experience at some level, and it can be more prominently displayed in some people than in others.

#3 The field of interpersonal neurobiology is the study of how our brains and bodies react to shame. It has revealed that shame is the primary tool that evil uses to destroy everything it touches.

#4 We all experience a common place of suffering called shame. It is the unspoken, primal obstacle to our growth and flourishing. It is difficult to define, but we recognize its presence in the moment we experience it.
