Daring Greatly: How the Courage to be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead Written by C. Brené Brown Recommended by Pamela Jansen BF575 .A85 B76 2012 What does it mean to be vulnerable, and why would anyone choose vulnerability over security? Brené Brown boldly crushes the myth the vulnerability equals weakness, prodding the reader to understand the courage and value in allowing others to see them as authentic and real. Backed by research and crafted with Brown’s engaging style, Daring Greatly reveals the vitality that awaits us as we dare to embrace vulnerability.
