Overview
The #1 New York Times bestseller. 1 million copies sold Don't miss the hourlong Netflix special Bren Brown: The Call to Courage From thought leader Bren 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, Bren Brown PhD, LMSW, 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.

Approachable and Knowledgable
Mikaela F. - 6 years agoAbsolutely love this book. As a master's student in family therapy, the in-depth exploration of shame and vulnerability enlightens mine and my colleague's work. The writing is approachable, easy to follow, and makes fora good bedtime or breaktime reading.

Perfect title
TOM C. - 6 years 2 months agoGreat book, it tells the importance of people that support you, and not to listen to the negativity of people not in your corner.

This book is so eye-opening and empowering.
Rachel N. - 6 years 5 months agoI love this book. As a therapist and a person who understands the role that shame can play in a person's life this book is invaluable. It is challenging, eye-opening, and can transform the way you approach your relationships. I loved how she puts numbers to the idea. It isn't just a random self-care book with little basis in fact. She is a researcher who has done the work and backed it up with science.

Warning! Vulnerability is the foundation to "daring greatly"!
Jana J. - 7 years agoNot feeling connected? Betrayed by a mate? Abused by someone? Daring Greatly is a primer for learning what it takes to be "all in" with the people in your life despite the traumas or troubles that have come your way. For me this book has been an adventure in reading, thinking, underlining, note jotting, rereading followed by some very deep thinking. I've almost wet my pants laughing out loud; conversely I've finally put into perspective the betrayal that jolted my life. We've all been there brokenhearted over something. This book provides practical guidance for understanding what you've been through and learning how to begin anew. Daring Greatly has been a true bridge over troubled water for me (thank you Bren and Simon and Garfunkel)an incredibly insightful, research based work that helped me find my way back to a deeper, more connected, "all in", vulnerable, people-loving kind of life. Read it, if you dare!
