Unlocking Us! From thought leader 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 twelve years of pioneering
research, Brené Brown PhD, MSW, 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. Read more
