Daring Greatly

The courage to be vulnerable

Based on twelve years of research, Brown argues that vulnerability isn’t weakness but our most accurate measure of courage, and shows how it transforms the way we live, love, parent and lead.

Three big ideas

  1. Vulnerability is courageShowing up when you can’t control the outcome is the bravest thing you can do.
  2. Shame needs secrecyShame grows in silence. Talking about it takes its power away.
  3. Beware of scarcityA culture of “never enough” fuels comparison, fear and disengagement.
