**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.

About the Book

Every time we are introduced to someone new, try to be creative, or start a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight those feelings - we strive to appear perfect.

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.

Amazing, the first 5 pages of this book changed my life!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 April 2019

Verified Purchase

It took me ages to get beyond these first few pages, once I realized that I was so resistant to the topic everything changed. It's well written, worth reading and if you are not as slow as me and a better listener you will probably,'get it' sooner. It's a topic that being open and curious about can transform your life. I really thought I knew it already! Well worth reading.

The BEST of Brene IMO

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2018

It’s taking me a ridiculous amount of time to read as I’m going back over stuff, highlighting, writing questions to myself in the margin, reading bits out to friends and clients! For goodness sake I may not finish it til Xmas at this rate. Lots of good, thought provoking ideas and ideals. I’m loving it.

Brilliant important book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the book I would hope everyone would read. It's wonderful and hugely important. For many of us, this is a new perspective about vulnerability, assertiveness around our needs and boundaries. Brene makes you think. She's never patronising or sentimental - she's accessible and challenging in a good way. For everyone who wants to love, be in a relationship, and have meaningful connection whether that's with family, work colleagues, friends or a partner - and finds that a little bit difficult.

Good classic Brené Brown

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2017

Good classic Brené Brown. I am studying counselling at the moment, so I am reading lots of this kind of material. She is really a master, who takes something as complex and sometimes difficult to navigate as human emotion, and presents it in a form that it gives one the courage to dip deeper into the world of self discovery, great stuff!

I had high expectations of the book because of all the hype I'd heard and it far exceeded my expectations. Absolutely amazing, thought provoking, informative, wise, funny, true and so much more. It was literally one of the best books I've read in a long time and I don't know that I've ever highlighted so much in a book before?!

Great sentiments throughout, helps me remember I have a choice in how I react and behave. Nice writing style, makes it a “friendly” read, not dictatorial. Great ted talks too.

One of the best books I've read on courage and vulnerability! Being brave is about Daring greatly in the area of fear and doing it anyway, at least if you fail, you'll fail Daring greatly!

My Saving Grace from Toxic Shame

Reviewed in the United States on 1 September 2017

Verified Purchase

Growing up in a household where obedience is won through criticism, belittling and shaming, it's little wonder I reached adult hood in a poor state of mind and body. With no self-esteem or confidence and full of toxic shame, I wasn't happy with myself in any shape or form. I truly disliked myself, and felt as if everyone else did too. I was a HUGE perfectionist, and very, very hard on myself.

Though I am still a work in progress (I'm 22 currently), I can look back and see how far I've come, and it is all thanks to Brene Brown: her books, her Ted talks, her program, etc. This is my favorite book of hers, though.

If you don't feel worthy of love and belonging, if you feel lesser than everyone else; if you can't forgive yourself for your mistakes or your terrible moments or the stupid things you've done in life; if you can't accept your humanness; if you can't show your face or eyes to others due to shame; if you can't own up to your mistakes for fear of judgement; if you compare yourself to others; if you constantly strive to prove yourself to others but feel as if you never measure up; then this book is for you.

I have read it through and then listened to the whole book about 3 times. I need to be reminded again and again what it means to Dare Greatly, as I have lived most of my life hiding and trying to protect myself. Every time I hear the words in this book, I can't help but say "Yes! Yes! Yes!" over and over again. It all makes such simple sense. I also cannot hear Brene's words - in book or talks - without crying, because they are some of the most beautiful words to my ears there ever was.

We are not in this alone, and our worth is not something that can be measured.

I am planning to get some of her books this Christmas for my family, who all badly need to hear her message and don't bother to look her up despite my urging. I will also have all her books on my shelf someday when I have kids, for them to all read as they are growing up, so that they don't grow up in fear, with low self-worth and full of shame, and to also give them the courage to dare greatly. (Of course I will parent differently than I was raised, and that will make a difference. ;) )

I would give this book a 10 star rating if I could.

Life-Changing Awesomeness

Reviewed in Canada on 3 November 2017

Verified Purchase

Brene's research is changing my life. She has given me a new vocabulary for things I knew needed words but couldn't understand. For example, there's this weird cycle that my husband and I get into sometimes, from out of the blue, that makes us both vaguely unhappy in our otherwise pretty great marriage, but I didn't know why or how or what the hell was going on. Brene described it exactly in a paragraph, and the lights went on in my brain! The collected wisdom in Daring Greatly put words and solutions to the problems that I thought no one else shared with me... but it turns out we all have them. We just don't know how to talk about them or that it's okay. If you read only one book ever in your life, make it one by Brene Brown. (I'm also reading Rising Strong, and it's another book full of life-changing revelations. I know that sounds like hyberbole, but I cannot overstate how good these books are.)

If I had to sum them up, I'd say that they answer the question of "What the hell is wrong with people these days?" and it turns out that the answers are pretty optimistic and have completely workable solutions. Each of us can find some peace and really enjoy life, and this is how. It's not easy, but it's good work.

An uplifting read!!!

Reviewed in India on 22 August 2016

Verified Purchase

This book was an eye opener in many ways. I was unaware of how shame had crawled into my very soul. This was an apt read while I was refining myself to parent my toddler empathetically. Helped me in more ways than one, gave me courage to stand up for what matters to me and for the first time in life I stopped pleasing people. Many of close relationships and friendships disintegrated because I started setting limits with people. That was natural as they were used to hearing me say yes irrespective of the hurt. I'm eager to read her other book The Gifts Of imperfection.

After watching her Ted talks, I looked for her books on amazon.ca - there were too many to buy all at once so I arbitrarily decided that I would start out with Daring Greatly because I liked the colours on the front cover. I was not disappointed and to date, Daring Greatly is my favourite of her books. It is thorough, insightful, and so interesting that it is hard to put it down. I have reread it since, and regularly recommend it to friends, family, and other social workers.

I can't say enough good things about this book

Reviewed in Canada on 27 January 2017

Verified Purchase

If I could give this book more than 5 star I would. It may sound dramatic but this book has totally changed my view on the world. I can honestly say there isn't a "type" of person that this book is designed for. If you want to have a more positive outlook on life and improve yourself as a person then this is the book for you. I can't say enough good things about this book. Where is has the greatest impact has been on how I parent. It has broken old ways of thinking and opened up a new world of love and kindness. Worth EVERY penny!!!
