The number one New York Times best seller. One million copies sold!

From thought leader Dr. 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 12 years of pioneering 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. Daring Greatly is a practice and a powerful new vision for letting ourselves be seen.

“The brilliantly insightful Brené Brown draws upon extensive research and personal experience to explore the paradoxes of courage: we become strong by embracing vulnerability, we dare more greatly when we acknowledge our fear. I can’t stop thinking about this book.” (Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project)

"A wonderful book: urgent, essential and fun to read. I couldn't put it down, and it continues to resonate with me." (Seth Godin, author of Linchpin)

My favorite Brene Book!

I have read all of Brene Brown's books that she has written up to this date. This one is by far the best. I have found myself thinking all of her books are the same they are the same stories, but the way she examples a lot of her research in this books is even better.

After spending my college years studying learning and emotional disabilities, Brenes work makes me want to go back to school and study shame and vulnerability.

I would suggest this book to any and everyone! This book makes you understand that not only what you do effects you but those you love and care about.

Game changer

This book will change your life if you let it. Practicing the principles and understanding the heart behind it all will enrich your life and bring a greater sense of purpose. I'm learning to daily walk it out.

Great emotional performance

My favourite by Brené Brown. I enjoyed listening to her narrating this book. The book encouraged me to take a deeper look into myself and re-evaluate my life.

Breathtaking and powerful in its sweep

Thanks to Ms Brown, I have cried more in the last six months than I have in the previous 30 years. And that is a wonderful outcome because that is partly how I processed so much of my pain, grief and shame. This book follows the same arc as her previous books but, I believe, with more clarity and refinement. She describes and illustrates the key elements of what she calls wholeheartedness, which I think I might also call emotional competence. Her body of work is nothing short of life-changing, and this book is a fitting capstone.

A must read!!!!

I recommend this to everyone. We all need tho read it. It would do wonders for our culture, our world.

Beautiful

Thank you for such an inspiring book, my life is forever changed for the better. I know that sounds cheesy but it’s 100% true.

A close look at self

Congnitive Restructuring

Mrs. Brown's work is revealing and guiding! She has not only spent years researching, interviewing, cataloging, and synthesizing her findings but she practices it on the ground in the muck with the rest of us. Her reading is head-on, forward, in-the-moment, and spoken to the heart of the listener. Her examples are real, raw, and vulnerable while her reflections on those experiences are captivating and urgent.

Thank you Brenè for giving so much of yourself. Thank you for carefully crafting such detailed notes around such important and timely work. Thank you for sharing your moments of awareness so that not only you could change the way you responded but also for others to learn to see those subtle little impulses that launch from the subconscious before they take hold of our system at large. Your work is incredible! - Clayton Berger
