Daring Greatly

By Brené Brown

Categories: Self-Help

In this 2012 book, researcher Brené Brown argues that vulnerability, often seen as weakness, is the source of courage, connection and creativity. Taking its title from Theodore Roosevelt's speech about the man in the arena, the book draws on Brown's studies of shame and vulnerability. She examines how the fear of not being enough shapes the way we love, parent, work and lead, and offers ways to build resilience to shame and show up fully.
