Daring Greatly: Embrace Vulnerability, Live Authentically

Every time we meet someone new, explore our creativity, or engage in a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel uncertain, exposed, and vulnerable. Most of us try to suppress these feelings, striving for an image of perfection.

In Daring Greatly, Brené Brown challenges our perceptions of vulnerability and dismantles the myth that it is a weakness.

Drawing on 12 years of groundbreaking social research across all aspects of life – home, relationships, work, and parenting – she argues that vulnerability is, in fact, a strength.

By shielding ourselves from vulnerability and concealing our true selves, we distance ourselves from the experiences that give our lives purpose and meaning.

Daring Greatly is an invitation to be brave, to step forward, and to allow ourselves to be seen, even when there are no assurances. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.
