**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.

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.

Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston, where she holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work. She also holds the position of visiting professor in management at the University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business.

Brené has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy. She is the author of six #1 New York Times best sellers and is the host of two award-winning Spotify podcasts, Unlocking Us and Dare to Lead.

Brené’s books have been translated into more than 30 languages, and her titles include Atlas of the Heart, Dare to Lead, Braving the Wilderness, Rising Strong, Daring Greatly, and The Gifts of Imperfection. With Tarana Burke, she co-edited the best-selling anthology You Are Your Best Thing: Vulnerability, Shame Resilience, and the Black Experience.

Brené’s TED talk on the Power of Vulnerability is one of the top five most-viewed TED talks in the world, with over 50 million views. Brené is the first researcher to have a filmed lecture on Netflix, and in March 2022, she launched a new show on HBO Max that focuses on her latest book, Atlas of the Heart.

Brené spends most of her time working in organizations around the world, helping develop braver leaders and more-courageous cultures. She lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband, Steve. They have two children, Ellen and Charlie, and a weird Bichon named Lucy.

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.

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.

The BEST of Brene IMO

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2018

Verified Purchase

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.

Not bad!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2021

Verified Purchase

I really admire Brene's emotional courage and the fact she writes very much from the heart.

However sometimes I feel a lot of her writing is her just spitballing what she feels, with occasional references to her 'research', which is basically just her talking to people. There's no mention of specific experiments or testing of hypotheses or interventions. Instead, it's mainly about her impassioned thoughts, which inevitably are bound up with all sorts of biases. That's totally ok - but there's not really much science going on, despite throwing in the odd 'data' and 'research' words.

What I really hope she writes about (which maybe she's done already), is her own upbringing, and what imprints were made by her parents. I always get the feeling that this is what she really wants to talk about, but is not yet willing to go there, which is totally fair.

Overall I really admire her passion, even if a lot of what she writes about is dressed up as 'science', when it's really more about her own personal thoughts.

Amazing

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?!

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!

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.
