Summary:
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 research, Dr. Brené Brown 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.
