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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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)

Essentials in life

Age 53, I wished I had learned these essentials as a child or young adult. But then, also at age 53 is it so profoundly inspirational. There is still time left to try, fail, try, fail and succeed every now and then, but foremost to dare to dare greatly.

AMAZING!!!

Made me rethink how I live life and what it takes to truly enjoy being alive. Brené Brown does an amazing job of storytelling and you can feel her sincerity. This book will change your life.

Vulnerability is Power. Live Wholeheartedly.

Live Wholeheartedly and without shame. Don't shame urself or others. There is a much better way and that is to engage from a place of worthiness and enough.

Love Brene Brown

Listening for the second time

This book is helping me break apart and put myself back together again. Indeed, "there is a crack in everything that is how the light gets in."

powerful insight

Brene and this book explain nearly every behavior pattern in my life and gave me the tools to practice vulnerability and shame resilience. The most insightful book I have ever read. Your life will be forever changed if you open your heart to its wisdom.

Brené rocks

This book takes a subject like vulnerability and makes it understandable makes it enjoyable I would recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to be more a part of their own life. The only problem I see with this book is the question of “will I be able to apply it in my own life will I have the bravery to act on the things that I learned listening to the book”

Me

A Message so Powerful I Bought the Audiobook & Hard Copy!

The overall message if this book can greatly improve or change your life, if you’re ready for it.

As someone who struggles with shame and self acceptance this book was a message that I needed to hear. I laughed and cried so many times throughout and so many of the messages resonated with me on such a deep level.

I bought the audiobook and the whole time I kept thinking how I wanted to go back and reread it to really let the science and message soak in.

10/10 would recommend!
