Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead by Brené Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Sshh…don’t tell my husband I’ve finished this book because I want to go back and review some things before he snatches it away. I keep catching him sneaking a peak. I am grateful to have a husband who wants to read my book about vulnerability. To me it demonstrates courage, humility, love and trust.
Really, this book is outstanding! A quote from the book illustrates what it is all about. “Daring Greatly is not about winning or losing. It’s about courage. In a world where scarcity and shame dominate 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 feeling hurt. But as I look back on my own life and what Daring Greatly has meant to me, I can honestly say that nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous, and hurtful as believing that I’m standing on the outside of my life looking in and wondering what it would be life if I had the courage to show up and let myself be seen.”
Not only has Brene hit the nail on the head when it comes to what stops us from being everything we can be, but she doesn’t an excellent job telling you how to do it. I’m going to be reading this one again!
