There are a lot of many
delicious morsels in this book. I think I'll buy it and reread it and
mark it and reread it again and mark it again.
Researcher and
thought leader Dr. Brené Brown offers a powerful new vision that
encourages us to dare greatly: to embrace vulnerability and
imperfection, to live wholeheartedly, and to courageously engage in our
lives.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who
points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could
have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in
the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who
strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of
high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly.” —Theodore Roosevelt
Every day we experience the
uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to
be vulnerable, or to dare greatly. Whether the arena is a new
relationship, an important meeting, our creative process, or a difficult
family conversation, we must find the courage to walk into
vulnerability and engage with our whole hearts.
In Daring Greatly,
Dr. Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability.
Based on twelve years of research, she argues that vulnerability is not
weakness, but rather our clearest path to courage, engagement, and
meaningful connection. The book that Dr. Brown’s many fans have been
waiting for, Daring Greatly will spark a new spirit of truth—and trust—in our organizations, families, schools, and communities.
