About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

**Now on Netflix as The Call to Courage**

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 - fromrevealing 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.

'She's so good, Brené Brown, at finding the language to articulate collective feeling' Dolly Alderton

'A wonderful book: urgent, essential and fun to read. I couldn't put it down, and it continues to resonate with me' (Seth Godin, author of Linchpin)

It's thought-provoking stuff (Stella Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph)

Some very sharp points, but also some very generic arguments that couldn't quite catch my attention. Probably an interesting read if you're a parent.

I would honestly have listened to this book 6 or 7 times now. Each time through I take away a little extra gem. Not only is Brené a powerhouse of wisdom, she is also a captivating story teller and an entertaining narrator. This book is LIFE CHANGING.
