Daring Greatly

What is it about?

This is Brown’s most famous work and it is focused on the power of vulnerability in life. Brown details how our vulnerability and authenticity helps us build strong connections with others therefore affects our ability to live fulfilling lives in all contexts. She also addresses how addressing our shame and developing empathy helps us live more courageously with great resilience to manage life’s challenges.

Why should I read it?

There is so much depth and insight in this book I would recommend it as an ideal read for almost anyone. Brown provides a safe way to acknowledge where we begin and then builds on this to help foster resilience, empathy  and authenticity in life. These are critical life skills for everyone and makes this book a valuable addition to any bookshelf.

Is it a challenging read?

It’s a very engaging and relatable read. It’s an easy read but, like all of Brown’s books, it does require a good dose of personal honesty to get the most from the wisdom on the pages.
