Now that two instructors, and an email mailing have all recommended this book, I checked it out from the library and find it quite as meaningful as they said it is. Contents What It Means to Dare Greatly Introduction: 1. Scarcity: 2. Debunking the vulnerability Myths 3. Understanding and Combating 4. The Vulnerability Armory 5. Mind the Gap: Cultivating Change 6. Disruptive Engagment: 7. Wholehearted Parenting: Final Thoughts Appendix Practicing Gratitude Notes & References Index This is a beautiful book that shines a light on the deepest blindspot in me. I recently struggled to grapple with the alien concept of self-love and self-compassion. It's quite a new idea for me. When someone talks about leading with vulnerability, it always gave a 404 error in me. Brene Brown is a leading researcher on shame and vulnerability, and this book is an eye-opener for me into a new world. The concept of shame and the critical voice in my head was like water for a fish, which, as David Foster Wallace says, was invisible to me. Brene brings the rigor of qualitative and quantitative approaches to this problem. She writes about this voice, the damages done, and tools to manage it. In my current quest for better mental health, this book has equipped me with some essential tools and vocabulary to think and work on. Highly, highly recommend this short, wonderfully researched, and very well produced book.
At times her [Brown's] suggestions sound like the satirical affirmations of the Stuart Smalley character from TV's Saturday Night Live: "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me." But she also offers good insights into how people don personal armor to shield themselves from vulnerability. AuszeichnungenBemerkenswerte Listen

HTML:The #1 New York Times bestseller. 1 million copies sold! From thought leader Dr. Bren 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 Roosevelt Every 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, Dr. Bren Brown 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 arenawhether 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. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

It's hard to review this kind of book as I feel like it's either going to strike a chord with a person or not. For me it did, and I going to try to apply some of her recommendations to myself, work, and family.
Part of the reason I had resisted reading Brown's books for so long is that she has built her niche as "shame" researcher. Personally I hate that term, and I hate the connotations around it. I also have little tolerance for people who always seem themselves as victimized. I found this book to be much less about that, and much more about connectedness, willingness to take healthy risks, authentic relationships, and the like. ( )
