From thought leader Brené Brown, a transformative new vision for the way we lead, love, work, parent, and educate that teaches us the power of vulnerability.

“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 the 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. Based on twelve years of pioneering research, Brené Brown PhD, MSW, dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.

Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity. She writes: “When we shut ourselves off from vulnerability, we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.”

Daring Greatly is not about winning or losing. It’s about courage. In a world where “never enough” dominates and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive. Uncomfortable. It’s even a little dangerous at times. And, without question, putting ourselves out there means there’s a far greater risk of getting criticized or feeling hurt. But when we step back and examine our lives, we will find that nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous, and hurtful as standing on the outside of our lives looking in and wondering what it would be like if we had the courage to step into the arena—whether it’s a new relationship, an important meeting, the creative process, or a difficult family conversation. Daring Greatly is a practice and a powerful new vision for letting ourselves be seen.

„Daring greatly is being brave and afraid every minute of the day at the exact same time.“ I picked up Daring Greatly after watching Brent Brown’s TED Talk on the power of vulnerability and hearing friends rave about her research and wisdom for weeks on end. Daring Greatly did not disappoint. Brown explores vulnerability, why we are afraid of it, what keeps us from allowing shame, and how it affects us. I found it especially interesting to read how vulnerability and shame affect women and men so inherently differently. The entire book is backed up with research data, numbers and tales from her work, which makes it a bit tedious to read at parts and brings a very western, science-based narrative to the table. I enjoyed her humor, her candor, and her bold honesty, with which she tells her own stories about parenthood, career, and relationships. What I have to mention, though, is that while Brene Brown very thoroughly discusses vulnerability and shame in different aspects of life, she doesn’t really address the underlying structures and issues in society. It would have been nice to - even if briefly - discuss how changing the narrative would be possible, how do we really deal with the information just learned and how do we really implement vulnerability into our lives. The book did give me a different outlook on vulnerability, shame, wholeheartedness, and scarcity. I can highly suggest this to anyone interested in personal development, parenthood, and very well researched non-fiction books.

loti loti patīk šī grāmata "real isn't how you are made," said the skin horse. "it's a thing that happens to you. when a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but really loves you, then you become real." "does it hurt?" asked the rabbit. "sometimes," said the skin horse, for he was always truthful. "when you are real, you don't mind being hurt." "does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "it doesn't happen all at once," said the skin horse. "you become it. it takes a long time. that's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. generally, by the time you are real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. but these things don't matter at all, because once you are real, you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.

I liked the message of the book and the transparency regarding its methodology. But the writing was not concise. Crop the text 1/3 and it would be great!
