The #1 New York Times bestseller. 1 million copies sold!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 RooseveltEvery 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, LMSW, 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.Available for purchase at:AmazonBarnes & NobleBooks A MillionHudson BooksellersIndieBoundPowell'sTargetWalmartGoogle Play StoreiBooksKobo
Based on twelve years of research, she argues that vulnerability is not weakness, but rather our clearest path to courage, engagement, and meaningful connection. Daring Greatly is about truth and trust, in our organizations, families, schools, and communities. She asks us to consider that vulnerability is necessary. When we show up and allow ourselves to be seen and heard, we are being vulnerable. We are daring greatly.

When we spend our lives waiting until we are perfect before walking into an arena, we sacrifice relationships and opportunities that may not be recoverable, we squash our precious time, and we turn our backs on our gifts, the unique contributions only we can make. Perfect does not exist in the human experience. We must walk into the arena, whether a new relationship, an important meeting, our creative process, a difficult conversation, or an intense class with a lot of sharing, with the courage and the willingness to engage. Rather than sitting on the sidelines and passing judgment and advice, we must dare to show up and let ourselves be seen. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.
How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders? How do you embed the value of courage in your culture? Dare To Lead answers these questions and shows us how to put the ideas of daring greatly, rising strong and braving the wilderness into practice, so we can step up and lead, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers and culture shifters.

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;the one strives valiantly; errs,comes short again and again,because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;but who does actually strive to do the deeds;who knows great enthusiasms,the great devotions;who spends himself in a worthy cause;who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement,and who at the worst,if he fails,at least fails while daring greatly,so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
