Daring Greatly by Brené Brown [Leadership] {#317} #BriefAudioBook - 6 February 2021 Daring Greatly How the Courage to be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead Brené Brown, Ph.D. 18 min read Get it on App Store Get it on Google Play overview We don’t want to be vulnerable because culture sees any vulnerable person as weak and open to attacks of all sorts; which is not a good thing. So, we put up a false front of strength by masking our vulnerabilities; at great cost to us. For example, we fail in leading teams or corporations assigned to us, or in providing spiritual leadership, or in raising our children to be the model citizens we dream for them to be; because we mask our vulnerabilities. In “Daring Greatly”, Dr. Brown makes a case for being proudly vulnerable and seeing it as a strength instead of a weakness. In her opinion, daring greatly will keep us from falling for the pressure of scarcity our society exerts constantly on us. We would see no need to try to keep up with our society’s expectations. We would just enjoy being our authentic selves, warts and all. [Leadership] {#317} #BriefAudioBook - 6 February 2021
