Book description
Researcher and thought leader Dr. Bren Brown offers a powerful new
vision in Daring Greatly that encourages us to embrace
vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly and courageously.
Every time we are introduced to someone new, try to be creative, or
start a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel uncertain and
exposed. We feel vulnerable.
Most of us try to fight those feelings - we strive to appear
perfect. But in a powerful new vision Dr. Bren Brown challenges
everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the
widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth,
vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from
vulnerability - fromrevealing our true selves - we distance ourselves
from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.
Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of
groundbreaking social research, across every area of our lives
including home, relationships, work, and parenting. It is an
invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen,
even when there are no guarantees.
This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.
