About this ebook

**Now on Netflix as The Call to Courage**

'She's so good, Brené Brown, at finding the language to articulate collective feeling' Dolly Alderton

Every time we are faced with change, no matter how great or small, we also face risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight those feelings - or feel guilt for feeling them in the first place.

In a powerful new vision Dr Brené Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - from revealing our true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.

Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of groundbreaking social research, across every area of our lives including home, relationships, work, and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees.

This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.

Brene Brown is my hero. Your whole life can't help but be rocked after reading her books. I have gained so much wisdom from her. My relationship with myself and others have improved tremendously. She's a game changer.

Reading this book is mind blowing! I am beginning to understand what shame is and how important it is to show courage. I appreciate Brene Brown for writing this. Thank you!

Based on facts and research, made me understand, identify and work with myself. A book i will revisit many times again.
